That's what I wanted to know. (In fact, now I look at your original post, the same information's shown there. Shame on me for not checking). It *looks* as though one (or more) of the WMI DLLs which in my system are in c:\windows\system32\wbem need to be reregistered. It might be something else, however. Can you try running regsvr32.exe against the DLLs in (your equivalent of) c:\windows\system32\wbem? I'm sorry this is so involved: I've never encountered someone with this error before when running WMI.

Re: [python-win32] Skip Alt+F4
Oh yes ! That's it. Thank you. It is a frame that's used by a service to display some information before uncancelable forced reboot. I now have to determinate how to modify the informations displayed in the frame. Should my program run in the class of the frame ? Or should it get a sort of handler to the frame and modify the content of a text box ? I don't know if the second way is possible.

I've got 7 excel files that need reading containing a total of ~6100 rows. I agree, about this code making me sick :) That's not exactly absolutely tons of data :-) One problem with the ODBC approach to reading spreadsheets (at least with the MS Excel ODBC driver) is that it examines a limited number (e.g. 8 or 10) of rows to determine what type a column is. So the first 10 rows have floats in column X then Noddy's managed to get some text in cell X11 which is a fatal error for ODBC -- you can't continue. [snip] Obviously, all that is only helpful up to a point. Is there some reason why you can't just pull the data out straight into Python structures and take it from there (or even push it into a Sqlite memory database)? Perhaps you've got absolutely tons of data so extracting it would be a pain? If not, consider using one of the COM packages (win32com.client or comtypes) or something like pyExcelerator to pull it out. /more helpful Consider the xlrd package (http://www.lexicon.net/sjmachin/xlrd.htm). It'll tell you what type the data is cell-by-cell -- you can then compare that with your expectations.

Re: [python-win32] How to create a com_record?
In case it helps, here's the overall description of the COM/app and what how this function fits: COM_App is a typelib (with multiple classes) for interfacing to an application that controls hardware on a USB port. When multiple applications are started it becomes impossible for users to write code for accessing a particular instance of the app, therefore a manager com COM_Manager was created. There are two important level of the COM_Manager. The first call gets you an object representing the particular application (Its not really COM_App per-se, its just another object that handles that app). Then there is SomeFunction below, it gives you the particular class for the particular COM_App. That is why it is takes a GUID as a parameter. I'm still learning about the details of the COM, I guess VT_RECORD is sort of the standard way of passing any structure information back and forth? My email access for the first half of the week is fairly limited but I'll still try to learn my way around the test harness to see if I can create an example.

But from previous email exchanges I can't just deifne some GUID My understanding is that the IDispatch implementation of this method declares that it wants a VT_RECORD - which win32com is trying to comply with. When I get back home, my approach will be to simply try and repro the issue in the win32com test suite, which will at least give me a clearer picture of what is happening.

[python-win32] Confusion with 'SetForegroundWindow()
Greets...
I'm looking to use the win32api and win32gui modules to do a bit of
Windows tinkering (win2k, ActiveState's Python 2.4.1 distribution) and
I've hit a snag.
I'd like to have my process/window steal the focus from whatever
window currently has it, get a bit of input from the keyboard, and
then restore the focus back to the original window.
In simple cases win32gui.SetForegroundWindow(hwnd) seems to be what
I'm looking for. It works fine when I simply try to set focus to
another window from my app.
But, I'm seeing unexpected behavior when I go beyond that. I wrote a
simple test script that enumerates through all visible windows and
tries to give each one the focus in turn, after a short delay. It
gets through 1-2 windows out of the 8-10 non-minimized windows I have
open (IE, notepad, wordpad, etc.) and then gives me this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File D:\_code\python\apps\WinTests.py, line 25, in ?
cycle_foreground()
File D:\_code\python\apps\WinTests.py, line 20, in cycle_foreground
win32gui.SetForegroundWindow(handle)
pywintypes.error: (0, 'SetForegroundWindow', 'No error message is available')
What am I doing wrong in this case? Do I have some bad assumptions?
Is my app allowed to give away its focus but can't force a different
app's window with focus to give away its focus? Is there any other
way to accomplish this? I've attempted using a mix of SetFocus(),
BringWindowToTop(), and EnableWindow() but couldn't find a magic
combo.
I've attached my test script. Run it as WinTests cycle to attempt
to cycle the focus through all top level windows and see the
traceback. Run it as WinTests 12345 to successfully set the focus
to the window with hwnd of 12345. Run it as WinTests to get a list
of all top level window names and their hwnd's.
I've tried reading the win32 docs provided with ActiveState's
PythonWin, I've read a bit on the win32 API on MSDN and I've googled
around a bit, and haven't found much.
So, I got curious and tried to code up something similar in C++. It
uses the identical API calls (from what I can tell) and It seems to
have no problem cycling through all the top-level windows. I've
attached my .cpp file as well.
Why the discrepancy between what I'm seeing with win32gui and c++? Thoughts?

Is there a workaround ? anyone using it ? For future reference, a Python extension written in C only works for a single major version. That is, an extension built for 2.4.1 will work with any 2.4 version, but not with 2.3 or 2.5. This is because the Python interpreter actually lives in a DLL (python23.dll, python24.dll. python25.dll), and the extension must link with a single version of that DLL. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza Boekelheide, Inc. ___ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
