With my particular combination of type libraries in my application, I can't rely on the gencache to hold the correct mapping in the mapCLSIDToClass dict for reasons stated earlier.
I need to go find out which type library the coclass truly lives in and use the structure in that particular genpy generated file to get to the correct class. Even this solution is limited to dispatch interfaces that only point to a single coclass in a given type library. Fortunately this is the case for us but certainly isn't universal. It is my opinion that the architecture is flawed, and that one cannot assume a particular coclass given a dispatch pointer no matter what type information is emitted. Unless that object implements IProvideClassInfo or IPersist, we cannot infer which coclass we are dealing with from a simple dispatch pointer. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
