Hi,

I need to embed the outlook calendar into my wxpython program.
How do I do that?

Thanks,
Antonio

If Outlook provides an ActiveX COM interface then you may be able to do it that way. See wx.lib.activex and how it is used in things like wx.lib.iewin. I have no idea if they do or not, or if so, how to use it. I'm afraid you're probably on your own.

Google might be your friend :wink: , e.g. "outlook python" gives quit a few hits, however did not look through them if any deal with embedding the calendar or if they are all just dealing with email reading.

Not knowing what eaxlty you’re looking for, a few
options:

  • one of the windows DLL’s (can’t remember which) has a calendar widget

  • you can use any widget any query the exchange server (works quit
    good), something like this

import win32com.client

Outlook = win32com.client.Dispatch(“Outlook.Application”)

namespace = outlook.GetNamespace(“MAPI”)

print namespace.GetDefaultFolder(9) # ‘Agenda’

  • or you could embed a running Outlook, with something like this

(if you want to use this, I’ve a better version available)
