You should be able to call Marshal.GetObjectForIUnknown such as: from System import IntPtr from System.Runtime.InteropServices import Marshal obj = Marshal.GetObjectForIUnknown(IntPtr(ptr)) >From there you should be able to do IBindCtx.GetRunningObjectTable(obj). If the COM object supports automation or provides type info then you could just do obj.GetRunningObjectTable(). > And more generally, is it possible to use both the native .net objects in ipy > and the ctypes library in ipy (and so transform from one world to the other) ? I think the answer to this is generally yes. In particular for COM objects you can because of the CLR and IronPython's support for COM interop. If you're dealing with other plain old structures and you have a .NET version of them you'll just need to copy all of the fields yourself . _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
