hi,
i'm wondering if Volker ever got this issue solved? i need to
do something similar. i'm trying to create a python COM server to
implement the AsyncEvents interface for exchange. i found a vb
sample in the exchange SDK that exposes
- IExStoreAsyncEvents_OnDelete
- IExStoreAsyncEvents_OnSave
this is what i'm trying to emulate in my python server.
i guess i just don't understand how the vb (or my py) code
gets wired together. i was thinking the makepy on the vb
dll would help and i could implement that interface,
but this doesn't seem correct.
i think seeing how Volker implemented his solution may
help get me on my way.
thanks,
craig

Re: COM server implementing given Interface
by Volker Siepmann
...
I don't want to extend an interface (so far I got it - I'm quite into
CORBA),
but just implement a server for given interfaces, which inherit from
IDispatch. If I write an ordinary server, the application doesn't accept
my
object - missing implementation of (all) interfaces. In VB (nor my
subject,
sorry, I'm a linux guy), they do it by writing
Implements TheInterfaceName
...
Private Function TheInterfaceName_TheMethodName(message As String) As
Boolean
...
Furthermore, I can find a line in the project file saying
Reference=*\G{12FB8542-7D64-11D2-A67D-00105A42887F}#0.9#0#TypeLibPath#Ty
peLibName
but that's all and it seems to work. All I need then is to tell python
to do
the same thing: declare the interface somewhere, and specify the
TLB-file,
where it came from.
I really hope, this is possible without that I have to read two American
books first (1552 pages)!!! But if it's like that, don't hesitate to
tell me.
Anyway, many thanks so far!!
