[comtypes-users] DynamicPolicy?

In Chapter 12 of Mark Hammond's book Python Programming on Win32, there is an example DynamicPolicy.py which demonstrates how to implement a COM server that exposes the entire Python string module. Can such a thing be done in comtypes? If so, is there an example? Thanks!

Re: [comtypes-users] Problem with AutoCAD

Ronan, There is a cast function. But the syntax isn't much shorter. import comtypes import comtypes.gen.AutoCAD as ACAD app = comtypes.client.GetActiveObject(AutoCAD.Application) obj = app.ActiveDocument.ModelSpace(1) #Assume this obj is a block block = comtypes.cast(obj,

Re: [comtypes-users] Problem with AutoCAD

Ronan, Thanks for taking time to explain what you're after. Here is an ugly way of achieving what you're trying to do. If you know AutoLisp/VisualLisp, this would be quite easy to follow. I'm not aware that there is a COM/ActiveX function equivalent to the ssgetfirst function. HTH. import

Re: [comtypes-users] Problem with AutoCAD

Ronan, I'm not sure what the answer is to your question. But I'm curious why you're trying to use Python to execute the measure command. Do you know any AutoLisp/VisualLisp or VBA? Both of them would be much easier to use in this case. What I'm finding is Python (win32com or comtypes) has its

Re: [comtypes-users] How to create array of variants?

Thomas, Please see if the following snippet would be enough. Thanks. Sampe to demonstrate how to use comtypes to automate AutoCAD: adding a point , a line to the drawing; and attaching xdata of different types to them. The objective is to actually show how to create variants of different types

Suraj Barkale [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: OK here is a longer version: Array_of_2_VAR = comtypes.ARRAY(VARIANT, 2) XData = Array_of_2_VAR(VARIANT('Test_Application'), VARIANT(600)) I hope this will create a true Array of variants. If this fails; only Thomas would be able to help you.
