[python-win32] Example code for SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems?

[Scott Nelson]

Greetings...

Would anyone happen to have some sample code of how to use
SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems?  I've been tinkering with it and haven't got
anything to work yet.  This is the closest I've got:

>>> from win32com.shell import shell
>>> shell.SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems((r'c:\junk', ), 1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: Must be an array of IDLs

The errors I've seen in my experiments mention "IDLs" and "ITEMIDLIST"
objects.  I've dug a bit through the pywin32 docs and MDSN and didn't have
much luck understanding what the Python wrapper required and how to
construct these object.  I must admit I don't have much Win32 API
programming experience.

I'm using Active State's Python 2.6.2.2 on Vista and I installed the 32 bit
version of pywin32, build 217.

For reverence, here's some links:
I submitted the feature request for SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3396444&group_id=78018&atid=551957

The changeset that implements this function is here:
http://pywin32.hg.sourceforge.net/hgweb/pywin32/pywin32/rev/1452829d69ec.

And, here's the MSDN doc:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762232%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

Any nudges in the right direction would be helpful.

Thanks!
