Thank you very much!

Now, I figured the name of the global object is NetStumbler.
NetStumbler.PlaySound("ns-signal-1.wav")
works beautifully.

So, NetStumbler will call NetStumbler.OnScanResult on some events.
I want to override that:

1st try:
NetStumbler.OnScanResult = lambda
SSID,BSSID,CapFlags,Signal,Noise,LastSeen:
NetStumbler.PlaySound("ns-signal-1.wav")

I get:
Python ActiveX Scripting Engine

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<Script Block >", line 18, in ?
    NetStumbler.OnScanResult = lambda
SSID,BSSID,CapFlags,Signal,Noise,LastSeen:
NetStumbler.PlaySound("ns-signal-1.wav")
  File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32comext\axscript\client\pyscript.py",
line 155, in __setattr__
    raise AttributeError, attr
AttributeError: onscanresult

__setattr__ is:

	def __setattr__(self, attr, value):
		# XXX - todo - if a known item, then should call its default
		# dispatch method.
		attr=string.lower(attr)
		if self._scriptItem_.dispatchContainer:
			try:
				return setattr(self._scriptItem_.dispatchContainer,attr, value)
			except AttributeError:
				pass
		raise AttributeError, attr

I'm new to Python. So, I assume when the if condition is false, it
raises exception...

2nd try:
def OnScanResult(cls, SSID,BSSID,CapFlags,Signal,Noise,LastSeen):
    NetStumbler.PlaySound("ns-signal-1.wav")

NetStumbler.OnScanResult = classmethod(OnScanResult)

Same error results.

How would I override NetStumbler.OnScanResult?

Thank you.
Sam.
