Hello everybody,
Some searching through this list's archives turned up the following discouraging post (about creating an ActiveX object from Python):
http://lists.wxwindows.org/archive/wxPython-users/msg16559.html
I wanted to see if anyone has made or heard of any progress with this. I'm a bit confused, since the win32com documentation refers to COM and ActiveX as being essentially the same. So what's the catch? I need to provide some code I developed in Python to a colleauge who's working in Visual C++, and wants an ActiveX object - she said she'd tried dealing with COM objects, and ran into all sorts of hassles. However, when she tried dropping ActiveX objects into her projects, everything 'just worked'. So there must be something different.. Does anyone have an idea what would be involved to turn a COM object into ActiveX? I am just looking for a nice way to maintain my code base in Python. Otherwise I'll have to port to C++ and then wrap in the other direction to make it available in Python (I want to have a single code base for better maintainability). That would be ok, but I'd like to save myself the effort if possible.
If someone has an idea of what would be needed to make this happen but just doesn't have the time to do it, please let me know - I'd be willing to put in some time and effort, but would need some guidance.
thanks,
Shi.
