I have a visual basic com object I am trying to use, so
far unsuccessfully. I am happily VB ignorant but will do my best to
describe the problem.
>>> import
win32com.client
>>> biff = win32com.client.Dispatch("OBName.Main")
>>>
biff.LoggedIn
0
>>> biff.TelLogin("Login", "Password", -1,
App)
The "TelLogin"
method is where things blow up. I need to send the following 4 required
parameters-
1) Login
ID
2)
Password
3) A VB True, which
they tell me is equivalent to -1
4) The VB App
keyword which is suppose to identify the calling application, in this case
Python. This is where things blow up.
Below is a
description from the vendor about the App keyword and how it is used.
Looks very VB specific to me. I have been all over the web trying to find
an equivalent of what to send in Python. I have had no luck. What in
the name of Python, if anything, can I use in the 4th parameter? I have
successfully used other VB com objects with Python, but never with an App
requirement.
Thanks for any
assistance.

This is the
description from the vendor-
-----------------
The
App object is a VB keyword. What we use it for in BPUTIL is to determine
properties of the application that is sending the message. Here is how we use
it.
We define a global
variable:
Public
myApp As Object
(Object Data Type:
Object variables are stored as 32-bit (4-byte) addresses that refer to objects.
Using the Set statement, a variable declared as an Object can have any object
reference assigned to it.)
In the TelLogin routine
we set myApp to the App object parameter passed to the
routine:
Public Sub
TelLogin(sUsr As String, sPW As String, GetIni As Integer, oApp As Object,
Optional sBank As String, Optional sSIP As String)
Set myApp =
oApp
From there on we can
look at the ‘App’ properties such as:
myApp.EXEName
This property would
tell us the executable name that BPUTIL is bound
to.
Here is a link to the
App property: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="">
