I'm trying to translate the following VB code into Python and not
sure how to
create an array of variants.
An array of variants in Python is a list.
But I'm not sure why you think you need one?
VB Code:
Sub SetXdata()
Dim lineObj As AcadLine
Set lineObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.Item(0)
Dim DataType(0 To 1) As Integer
Dim Data(0 To 1) As Variant
DataType(0) = 1001: Data(0) = "Test_Application"
DataType(1) = 1070: Data(1) = 600
So this is basically setting up two lists where
the DataType is an integer and the Data is - in
these cases - a string or an integer.
lineObj.SetXdata DataType, Data
So if you pass in two Python lists containing:
DataType = [1001,1070]
Data = ["Test_Application", 600]
Does it work?
If not what error do you get? (The full text please)
import comtypes.client
def SetXData():
activedoc =
comtypes.client.GetActiveObject("AutoCAD.Application").ActiveDocument
line = activedoc.ModelSpace.Item(0)
dataType = array.array('i', [1001, 1070])
dataValue = array.array('?', ['Test_Application', 600]) #What
should I use
for the type code?
I don;t think you use an array here. An array in this context expects
a homogenous set of data. You need a mixed set. So a normal list
is most likely construct to use.
Alternatively does comtypes have a mechanism for converting Python
types to VB/COM Variants?
