Python COM and bitmap Resource ID's

[Markus Wankus]

Hmmm....looking through the win32ui documentation, I thought maybe 
something like:

win32ui.SetResource(win32ui.LoadLibrary('some_dummy_dll_with_bitmap_resources.dll') 
)

...might do the trik.  It doesn't appear to work.  Does anyone know if I am 
tryiing to do something that is not possible?

Thanks,
Mark.
