But after I used help, it showed: Add(Position=, Alignment= It seems like the problem that 'Microsoft Word 16.0 Library' not compiled by makepy.py. So I double clicked makepy.py and couldn't find 'Microsoft Word 16.0 Library'in the libraries list. But i-n VBA of word, I can indeed find 'Microsoft Word 16.0 Library'. So I'd like to ask what is the problem with makepy.py and what params I should pass into this method. Regards, Linghao -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Implicitly, however, the principal can execute a task as long the task security grants read access.

I'm quite new to the pywin32 package (as in I have never interacted with it before). I'm currently trying to implement a python interface to a win32 bit program that I can connect to using the ordinary win32com.client.Dispatch method. This program controls an microscope camera and the only way to connect to it is via this COM connection. There is already an version of this software written in pascal by the manufacturers so I'm trying to create an expanded python version of this software. I've managed to get the connection working and I can send commands that do not require any inputs and access the attributes of the interface/program. The problem is that when I try to send commands to one of two exposed methods that require input I get the follow error: s = win32com.client.VARIANT(pythoncom.VT_LPWSTR, 'On\0') r = win32com.client.VARIANT(pythoncom.VT_LPWSTR, 'AL\0') Response = AIPam.scriptCmd(r,s) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in Response = AIPam.scriptCmd(r,s) File "C:\Users\GWHLAB~2\AppData\Local\Temp\gen_py\3.8\E07C24C7-56CE-409F-AB60-DC7EDE9D9888x0x1x0.py", line 37, in scriptCmd return self._oleobj_.InvokeTypes(216, LCID, 1, (3, 0), ((31, 1), (31, 1)),cmd TypeError: The VARIANT type is unknown (0x0000001f) I've tried with s and r set to various combinations of either just a regular python string, VARIANT with VT_LPWSTR with either (\0 or 0) terminator or without terminator. They all give the same error. (As I understood that 31 VT code meant a VT_LPWSTR) The corresponding command in pascal looks like: IPam.scriptCmd('AL','On') and it works.

Usually, with a COM server, the bit size of your Python must match the bit size of your COM server. So, you'd need to use 64-bit Python to call a 64-bit COM server. (Note thet pywin32 is available for both 32-bit and 64-bit Pythons.) However, the Office applications are out-of-process servers, so there?s a proxy in the middle, and that should let it work. ?

Use VT_BSTR (or just pass a Python string) and see if that works - if it doesn't you probably need to contact the vendor of the package.

No, it doesn't mean that!? If it doesn't ask for a variant, then you don't deliver a variant.?
