Hi,
I'm currently writing an application to control MS-Word from Pythonwin. At
the moment I'm having problems trying to activate a menu option in word.
The following code snippets should start Word and activate the "Open" menu
option.
Using VB the code would look something like :-
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim wordApp As Word.Application
Set wordApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wordApp.Visible = True
wordApp.CommandBars.FindControl(ID:=23).Execute
End Sub
Which when translates to Pythonwin would look like :-
wordApp = win32com.client.Dispatch("word.Application")
wordApp.visible = 1
wordApp.CommandBars.FindControl(Id=23).Execute
However it works fine in VB but in Pythonwin failed to execute the "Open"
menu option.
Hope somebody can help.
TIA.
