[python-win32] Dragdrop shell extension?
Hey all, I've implemented a file format called .urls which is a plain text file containing (guess what) urls. I've successfully registered it with a python script so it can, when clicked, open a new browser windows with all of the urls listed in new tabs. (Very handy!) Now, I want to be able to drop handler such that a link dragged from the browser (system .url file, basically) onto the .urls file will append the new link to those in the list. I understand that file formats which do this sort of thing register a program as a shell extension, but how do I write such a thing to handle shell dragdrop in python??

Re: [python-win32] playing with scintillacon
I already had "import win32api". As for pywintypes27.dll, it is one of four files automatically placed in c:\windows\system32 by the installer, which is a pretty sure thing as far as being able to find it. I was getting desperate so I even copied it over, AND all the binaries from the C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\pythonwin directory for good measure. I checked the security privileges on all of them and verified that they were 64-bit using a PE explorer (ProcessHacker2). There must be something else I'm missing. NOTE: I am basing my code on the example C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\win32comext\shell\demos\servers\shell_view.py ScintillaShellView class. Which is supposed to implement a windows explorer preview with scintilla highlighting. Anyway, when I try and run that full sample, I get a folder created that I cannot open. (Like it's registered correctly, but the code behind it is kaput.) I use NirSoft's shell extension viewer (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.html), and it tells me it "cannot find c:\Windows\system32\pythoncom27.dll". Bafflingly, it IS THERE! And, since it is another of the same set of dll's created by the installer, I'm wondering if this might be a clue? Could there be a problem with the way the dll's are compiled and/or installed??

Ok, I found scintilla.dll in the directory above scintillacon.py, but it came with pywin32, so it *should* be the correct one. DLL inspector says it's a 64-bit, which is correct for my os. I copy that dll, and indeed, all binaries in that directory (just to be sure) into my program directory and it still does not work! Yet, the program Pythonwin.exe in that directory works fine and does its syntax highlighting with scintilla.dll. I have no idea what could be wrong. Oh! To know what that little %1 means!

[python-win32] CreateDesktop() and displaying a window on it
Hey all,
I'm trying to get system modal functionality like the UAC dialog.
According to http://developex.com/blog/system-modal-back/ the thing to
do is to create and switch to a new desktop.
Therefore, I'm doing:
hDeskOld=win32service.GetThreadDesktop(win32api.GetCurrentThreadId())
hDesk=win32service.CreateDesktop("SysModalDesktop",0,win32con.GENERIC_ALL,None)
hDesk.SwitchDesktop() # switch to the new desktop
try:
root=Tk()
app=SysmodalDialog(root,title,message,img)
app.mainloop()
except Exception,e:
print e
hDeskOld.SwitchDesktop() # switch back
hDesk.CloseDesktop() # done
The tk stuff inside the try works fine on its own.
If I replace the Tk stuff with time.sleep(5.0), then desktops switch
fine as well.
The problem is I can't get the tk app to show on the new desktop (and
therefore mainloop() blocks and I can't get back out of it!)
I tried changing Tk() to Tk(screenName="SysModalDesktop") but that
didn't make a difference.
How do I make my window go to the right desktop??

[python-win32] win32api handle incompatible with ctypes?
Hey all,
I'm having another problem. I'm wanting to get the size of a dll
resource, but...
When I do:
try:
hLib=win32api.GetModuleHandle(fileName)
except:
hLib=win32api.LoadLibrary(fileName)
if hLib==None:
raise WindowsError('File not found, '+fileName)
hResInfo=ctypes.windll.kernel32.FindResourceW(hLib,index,type)
size=ctypes.windll.kernel32.SizeofResource(hLib,hResInfo)
It throws:
hResInfo=ctypes.windll.kernel32.FindResourceW(hLib,index,type)
ctypes.ArgumentError: argument 1: 'exceptions.OverflowError'>: long int too long to convert
Almost like ctypes doesn't like the win32api handle.
My machine is 64 bit. Is that what ctypes is not liking? Is there a
way around it?

[python-win32] What does pythoncom interface look like?
Hey all, I'm trying to create a win32com server that implements a standard interface (IExtractImage) I've added the iid to _com_interfaces_ and the method names to _public_methods_, but now I'm at a complete loss how to implement them. For instance, given the method, HRESULT IExtractImage::GetLocation( [out] LPWSTR pszPathBuffer, [in]DWORD cchMax, [out] DWORD *pdwPriority, [in]const SIZE *prgSize, [in]DWORD dwRecClrDepth, [in, out] DWORD *pdwFlags ); How in the world is that supposed to look as a python method??

Re: [python-win32] shell_view.py folder not browsable
Hey all, I was hoping to create my own IShellFolder in python, but there seems to be something wrong with the example on my system. (Win7 64bit, Python 2.7) The folder shows up on the desktop, but I cannot open it. I saw an earlier thread where the solution was to right-click and select 'explore', but that doesn't even work for me. The context menu only has Cut, Create Shortcut, and Delete. Not seeing any errors in the syslogs. Any fixes or suggestions would be most appreciated! Thanks in advance, -Kurt Today I decided to try it on Vista 32-bit, SP2. Also, this was pristine code right off the Anaconda bundle. This time when I right-click, open on "Python Path Shell Browser" I see a brief blip, like it wanted to draw the window frame but decided not to. This was the only visible difference (and I think even that could be accounted for by the slower speed of the machine). Again, I run mmc and look at the syslogs. Nothing. That's a pretty old system. Just curious, when was the last time anybody has tried this example? Its starting to feel like the non-workingness may have been around for a long time. -Kurt ___ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
