<span id="thread_subject_site">I posted this on comp.lang.python. but it has been pointed out to me that this is a better place to ask.<br></span><p><font class="fixed_width">I'm trying to get <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">DispatchWithEvents()</span> to work with HyperAccess (terminal program) without much success.</font></p>
<p><font class="fixed_width">This works but doesn't handle the "Event Driven Functions": <br> <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">haObj = win32com.client.Dispatch(r"HAWin32") </span></font></p>
<p><font class="fixed_width"> I'm certainly new to all this but I've done a bunch of searching on google and found some examples using IE. This is derived from eventsFreeThreaded.py and eventsApartmentThreaded.py included as demos with win32com. I have to admit I don't really get the difference between Free Threaded and Apartment threaded or which I should be using. I feel like I'm in over my ability level, but that's usually how you learn.<br>
</font></p><p>T<font class="fixed_width">his Internet Explorer Example works: <br> <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">ieObj = win32com.client.DispatchWithEvents("InternetExplorer.Application", ExplorerEvents) </span><br>
</font></p><p><font class="fixed_width">But this does not: <br> <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">haObj = win32com.client.DispatchWithEvents("HAWin32", HAEvents) </span><br> It fails with the error message: <br>
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">"TypeError: This COM object can not automate the makepy process - please run makepy manually for this object" </span><br></font></p><p><font class="fixed_width">I looked in the files generated by makepy (I used the COM Makepy utility in PythonWin) and after some searching I tried: <br>
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">mod = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureModule('{5178CCE1-AAEF-11CE-AE75-00AA0030EBC8}', 0, 1, 0) </span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> haObj = win32com.client.DispatchWithEvents(mod, HAEvents) </span><br>
Which fails with the error message: <br> <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">ttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'GetTypeInfo' </span><br> </font></p><p><font class="fixed_width">So I tried this approach with IE: <br>
<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">mod = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureModule('{EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B8}', 0, 1, 0) </span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"> ieObj = win32com.client.DispatchWithEvents(mod, ExplorerEvents) </span><br>
But this too breaks with the same GetTypeInfo error. <br> </font></p><font class="fixed_width">Any ideas or resources? I can provide the makepy output if that helps. </font><br>Here's a thread that almost mirrors my experience but never seems to come to a conclusion:<br>
