I'm controlling Word via COM, and sometimes it pops up dialogs during a method call, rendering my python process useless. Is there a way to make sure an MS Office app never puts up dialogs? I would also like a general safety net that would allow me to abort COM method calls when they take too long.
So far, the only solutions I can think of are to either kill the word process from a separate python thread, or to run all COM interaction in a separate python process which itself could be killed in the event of a timeout. Does anyone have suggestions for a cleaner way?? thanks -- I'm using activestate python 2.1.1 build 212 -rusty _______________________________________________ ActivePython mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/activepython
