Dear Juha-Pekka,

import sldworks, swcommands, swconst, cosworks

sw = sldworks.SldWorks()
# open new part
Teil = sw.NewDocument(r'C:\ProgramData\SolidWorks\SOLIDWORKS 2018\templates\Teil.prtdot',\

# start managers
model = sw.ActiveDoc
modelExt = model.Extension
selMgr = model.SelectionManager
featureMgr = model.FeatureManager
sketchMgr = model.SketchManager

title=model.GetTitle

print(title)

works for me.

Subject: [python-win32] Set service to auto restart
Message-ID: <CAOFBhqJ7NuEbJpPN6zaTJGy8k+VSGQf-efZYikHujmsy8=jzyw@mail.gmail.com>

I have a python windows service defined as a subclass of
win32serviceutil.ServiceFramework.

I can install the service via the command line via `python -m myservice
--interactive --startup auto install`

Doing so, I can set some of the service configuration such as to run in
interactive mode and to automatically start the service on system start.

Is it also possible to pass in configuration for how the service should
handle failure? specifically I want to set the service to always restart on
failure.

If not via the command line, is there a programmatic way to do this? I know
it can be set manually by opening services.msc and adjusting the service
configuration but was hoping it was also exposed via pywin32.

Thanks for any tips

Message-ID: <DB8PR04MB57400159DBE9F2C2BA5C4F5585890@DB8PR04MB5740.eurprd04.prod.outlook.com>

Hello,

I am trying to automate CST Studio.

First part is straight forward:

Call

cst = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch("CSTSTudio.Application")

and get the CST Studio

next step open a new microwave studio project

mws = cst.NewMWS()



now there comes the problem:

mws has couple of methods.

As example "Quit()"

When I try to call this method nothing happens

mws.Quit()

It should quit the project.

What happens:

Nothing



But when I try to get a property

Example:

mws.Pi

Result:

3.141592653589793



For me it looks as the methods of mws are never called.



What am I missing?

Thanks for your Help

Best regards

Andreas Merl

Have you tried the other methods, or are you basing that conclusion on exactly 1 sample?

How can you tell it didn?t quite the project?  Does the app open a new instance when you call EnsureDispatch?  Excel, for example, is perfectly happy to run in the background as a COM server, so there?s no visible change when you quiet.

Subject: [python-win32] Cast CDispatch to DispatchBaseClass?
Message-ID: <CAJ2TqNELBjNEAFkGwBihztDkDxu99K3A41vFqex_eQsgQ88rxA@mail.gmail.com>

I have a makepy generated class that returns an untyped object which needs
to be cast into one of a couple other makepy generated classes.

My code starts with:

import win32com.client as client
mod =
client.gencache.EnsureModule('{83A33D31-27C5-11CE-BFD4-00400513BB57}',0,SWAV,0)
swApp = client.GetActiveObject("SldWorks.Application")
model = swApp.ActiveDoc #Meant to be cast by the user to one of two
interfaces. Returns a win32com.client.CDispatch


CastTo (and the constructor for the generated class I need to cast to) fail
to set _oleobj_ correctly.

After poking around I got things to work with:

swModel = mod.IModelDoc2(model)
swModel.__dict__["_oleobj_"] =
 model._oleobj_.QueryInterface(mod.IModelDoc2.CLSID,
pythoncom.IID_IDispatch)


This feels like I'm doing something wrong. Is there a better way to do this?

Subject: [python-win32] How to convert VisualStudio DTE to DTE2
Message-ID: <CAC1xz-S0mTRUhzmJCAfY0HEEooXCJby7cJNd4wVDLUaRcT3TEw@mail.gmail.com>

Hi.
I'm new to the pywin32 and COM interfaces.
I have a simple task. I want to attach my VisualStudio to current Python
process with specific debug engine, to eliminate Python debugging and use
only Native C++ code debugging.

Using pywin32 I get DTE object by this:

import win32com.client
dte = win32com.client.GetActiveObject("VisualStudio.DTE.15.0")

Then I look through existing processes and find PID of the current Python
process. I want to make something like this:

for proc in dte.Debugger.LocalProcesses:
        if proc.ProcessID == os.getpid():
            proc.Attach2("native")
            break


But Attach2 exists only on Process2:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/envdte80.process2.attach2?view=visualstudiosdk-2017

How can I convert/cast Process object to Process2 object?
Or in general, how can I convert DTE object to DTE2 object?
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/envdte80.dte2?view=visualstudiosdk-2017

Because, when I do
win32.CastTo(dte.Debugger, "Debugger2")
or
win32.CastTo(dte, "DTE2")
every time I'm getting this error:
ValueError: The interface name 'Debugger2' does not appear in the same
library as object '<win32com.gen_py.Microsoft Development Environment 8.0
(Version 7.0 Object Model).Debugger instance at 0x88224584>'
