I
wish I had the knowledge to try and beat you to it! Maybe it's time
to try and gain that knowledge.
Thanks for the clarification anyway, saves me waisting time to get
something working which is actually not working at the
moment.

Subject: RE: win32comThis doesn't work quite yet. The code you see relating to the vtables allows you to _implement_ these COM objects, but not call them. This work will probably happen over the next few months (or quicker if someone beats me to it [Please!])Mark.-----Original Message-----

Subject: win32comHi all,I hope this is the correct mailing list (can't find a win32com list - although it seems there is one - to subscribe to on the Activestate website at http://listserv.activestate.com/mailman/mysubs)How do I use the IUnknown interfaces of COM objects? The generated wrapper file created by makepy creates a nice wrapper for the default IDispatch interface, but none for the IUnknown (that I can find). There are however variables for the IUnknown interfaces in the form:IMyObject_vtables_dispatch_ = 0IMyObject_vtables_ = [(long list of methods and properties with some other cryptic values)]The CLASS_ID can be found in a dictionary named VTablesNamesToCLSIDMapHow do I use the above to generate a wrapper to the above interface that I can use. It seems as if similar values are plugged into the DispatchBaseClass object to create a wrapper for IDispatch interfaces, but I don't know how (or where) to plug these variables into to create a wrapper for the IUnkown interfaces. I don't know much about COM so the answer may be obvious and easy, but I can't figure it out!I have been able to use the DispatchBaseClass derived wrappers and would like something similar for the IUnknown interfaces.ThanksEtienneP.S. If this is not the correct list , please point me to a place where I can subscribe to the correct one!
