Hello, Congratulation, for this new release correcting some bugs around the "PIA ComObject Operations". I spent the last hours playing around with this great feature of ironpython and I would like to share with you a couple of things. Some are working fine some seems strange to me but it might be because I am missing something and some that are not working.
Scenario 1 IronPython 0.7.6 on .NET 2.0.50215.44 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
import sys sys.LoadAssemblyByName("Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word") import Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word as wordApp mApp= wordApp.ApplicationClass() mApp.visible
False
mApp.visible = True mApp.Documents.Open("c:\tmp\Doc1.doc")
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: The document name or path is not va lid. Try one or more of the following: * Check the path to make sure it was typed correctly. (c: mp\Doc1.doc)click Open. Search for the file using this dialog box. at input_6.Run(Frame frame)
####### I do not undertstand why this is not working however a slightly modified statement is working well##########
doc1 = mApp.Documents.Open(r'c:\tmp\Doc1.doc') doc1.Save() doc1.Close()
Scenario 2
doc1 = mApp.Documents.Open(r'c:\tmp\Doc1.doc') doc2 = mApp.Documents.Add() doc2.SaveAs(r"c:\tmp\Doc2.doc") for i in mApp.Documents:
... print i.Name ... System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Unknown name. (Exception from HRESU LT: 0x80020006 (DISP_E_UNKNOWNNAME)) at System.RuntimeType.InvokeDispMethod(String name, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Object target, Object[] args, Boolean[] byrefModifiers, Int32 culture, String[] namedParameters) at System.RuntimeType.InvokeMember(String name, BindingFlags bindingFlags, Bi nder binder, Object target, Object[] providedArgs, ParameterModifier[] modifiers , CultureInfo culture, String[] namedParams) at input_24.Run(Frame frame) ###### I do not understand why I cannot iterate in the collection of Documents###### ###### May be this is not supposed to work but it would be amazingly efficient########
mApp.Documents("Doc1.doc").Activate()

doc3 = mApp.Documents.Open(FileName='c:\tmp\Doc1.doc', ReadOnly= True)
System.Exception: this object is not callable with keyword parameters at input_32.Run(Frame frame) #### Obviously, my guess was wrong but I do not have any idea on how to do such thing any advise would be more than welcome###### Could you please help me to positionned win32com and IronPython? Would it be possible to do the same things with IronPython than with win32com? Thank you very much for your answers, I hope that will help you .....
