<DIV>Hi all,
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I started to write a software for our future robotic telescope in Python. We decided that we will use FocusMax for focusing:</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><A title=http://users.bsdwebsolutions.com/~larryweber/ href="http://users.bsdwebsolutions.com/~larryweber/" target=_blank>http://users.bsdwebsolutions.com/~larryweber/</A></DIV>
<DIV>but I have a problem with focusing. </DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>FocusMax.FocusControl.Focus starts the auto focus operation and returns when Focus is complete. This Method has the same effect as if the user clicked the Focus button on the Focus tab (in FocusMax), but there is no reaction and I don't get any error message.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>It works in Visual Basic Script, I have tryed it, but it doesn't work in Python. Why? I'm a beginner in programming and I hope that You can help me. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV>I have send you a part of the code in Python. It should work, but it doesn't. I think the problem is here:</DIV>
<DIV>FM = win32com.client.Dispatch('FocusMax.FocusControl'), but I don't know what is the problem.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Python code:</DIV>
<DIV>import win32com.client<BR>FM = win32com.client.Dispatch('FocusMax.FocusControl')<BR>FM.Focus</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>VBScript (that works):</DIV>
<DIV>Set FM = CreateObject("FocusMax.FocusControl")<BR>FM.Focus</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would be very thankful, if you try to help me!</DIV>
