Hi,
One of the functions in the com object I need to use has a pointer in one of
it's functions
(object.function(string input, struct * output))
(I've created the struct with win32com.client.Record("structure", object))
I've tried to use the id() function but then Python gives me a message that
it's an int, not a tructure
and when I just give the object without a pointer, the object is still empty
afterwards.
In the mailinglist archive I saw this message from Mark Hammond:
"Well, their IDL is at fault, and it clearly should be marked as [in,out]. All
we should need to do is to get the makepy generated code for this function, and
change the last "type tuple" for this function. It will be a tuple of, eg
(pythoncom.VT_OBJECT, pythoncom.PARAMFLAG_FIN). Telling Python it is really
_FIN | _FOUT should do the trick"
So I opened the by genPy generated file and tried to change the last tuple from
_ApplyTypes_ but it was already 2 (PARAMFLAG_FOUT):
return self._ApplyTypes_(1, 1, (24, 0), ((8, 1), (36, 2)), 'SetIDString',
None,inID, outID)
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Kind regards,
Gijs
