activex set properties problem

I took a look at the c code for activex and it states explicitly that arrays are not supported. That explains why the properties are marked as unsupported.

So unless some good soul can add support into the module for arrays we are all a bit stuck.

A bit of a shame since it is an easy module to work with.

I also see that Markus Meyer was talking about a separate branch to fix problems so I wonder if this is on anyone's list.

I haven't heard about anything being done yet. If somebody has done some work on this please send me patches.

I'm not sure that the problem relates to arrays. I jumped to that conclusion based on reading Colin Ingarfield's post in May and reading the C source for the actives module where it says it does not support arrays.

When I ran my activex through makepy from win32com it creates a list of constants to map these integer values to.

So what I am wondering is how easy would it be to do the same thing with Lindsay Mathieson's activex module.

Hope someone has a better idea about this than me.

What I have now done is to switch to the win32com stuff. This does the trick so I shall carry on with this.
