Hi,
I did use the makepy utility through pythonwin GUI (although I'm not sure It
had any effect)
>>> cs = s.ms.Document.ComponentSet
>>> cs[4].TypeName # attribute of type Component
u'Folder'
>>> cs[4].Children # attribute of type Folder
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\ActivePython25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py",
line 496, in __getattr__
if d is not None: return getattr(d, attr)
File "C:\ActivePython25\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py",
line 454, in __getattr__
raise AttributeError, "'%s' object has no attribute '%s'" % (repr(self),
attr)
AttributeError: '<win32com.gen_py.Manifold System Type Library.IComponent
instance at 0x39172936>' object has no attribute 'Children'
>>>
NOW APPLAYING YOUR ADVICE
>>> f = win32com.client.CastTo(cs[4],"IFolder")
>>> f.Children
<win32com.gen_py.None.ComponentSet>
So yes, I can go this way, although it's much less elegant, then automatic
casting.
Thanks a lot,
Tibor
