Hello, I was wondering if anyone could tell me why fireEvent works in every language but Python with the latest Internet Explorer?
I tried this page that has two listboxes if you select Listbox A the Listbox B should change. The code status: Works fine with Python 2.3, 2.4 in Windows XPsp1 DOES not work Python 2.3, 2.4 XP Sp2 or the lastest IE Works fine with "RUBY" on Win 2000, XP sp1 and XP sp2 Work fine with PERL on on Win 2000, XP sp1 and XP sp2 Luckily I know both Ruby, VB and Perl so I could prove there was a problem. Here is the example code in both Python and Ruby: Python: from win32com.client import DispatchEx import time def wait(ie): while ie.Busy: time.sleep(0.1) doc = ie.Document while doc.ReadyState != 'complete': time.sleep(0.1) ie = DispatchEx('InternetExplorer.Application') ie.Visible = 1 ie.Navigate( 'https://enroll.ou.edu/' ) wait(ie) ie.Document.forms[0].campus.value='200' ie.Document.forms[0].campus.fireevent('onchange') Results: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python23\lib\site-packages\Pythonwin\pywin\framework\scriptutils.py", line 310, in RunScript exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__ File "C:\automation\poScript1.py", line 18, in ? ie.Document.forms[0].campus.fireevent('onchange') File "C:\Python23\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 154, in __call__ return self._get_good_object_(self._oleobj_.Invoke(*allArgs),self._olerepr_.defaultDispatchName,None) com_error: (-2147024891, 'Access is denied.', None, None) Ruby: # OU Registration & Enrollment Online require 'win32ole' ie = WIN32OLE.new('InternetExplorer.Application') ie.visible = true ie.gohome ie.navigate('https://enroll.ou.edu/') while ie.busy end READYSTATE_COMPLETE = 4 until ie.readyState == READYSTATE_COMPLETE end form = ie.document.forms(0) form.campus.value = '200' form.campus.fireevent('onchange') Results: fireEvent was successful and the second listbox was changed -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
