I noticed that when wanting to learn Pythoncom there is no real
good
accessible tutorial for it.
Does anyone know where a good structured tutorial exists for the
Com
utilities so I can write my own screen reader program?
Assuming you mean Pythonwin, the libraries for accessing the
Windows API that come as part of winall then the best tutorial
is the one in Mark Hammond's book "Python Progeramming
on Win32"
But it helps if you have a basic understanding of COM generally,
for example using it from within VBScript. Also familiarity with
the vanilla Windows API documentation helps and that is not
really part of the Pytthon access library. You should find plenty
of tutorials on the raw API on the net.
the objects and its methods so I can use a python program to read
and
verbalize the objects as you focus on them and such. The only
explanations I
found either have the descriptions scattered and no examples or
structure on
how to use any of the com stuff.
You might find ctypes is better for that kind of thing. COM
is better when you want to remotely control another application
but for interceprting low level Windows messages ctypes
seems like a better approach - although I confess to not
having tried it!

How to use the Makepy and when not to use it. How to get the
objects and
its list of methods to be able to work with it for screen reading
purposes.
Thanks in advance.
