[wxPython] wxPython and Excel

wxPython Users

Hi all,

Has anyone tried successfully or unsuccessfully to get wxPython working
inside of Excel? I am trying to write an add-in for excel but I need to be
able to pop up dialog boxes etc. I know I can use the win32 stuff and pop a
VB dialog using com, but the code of the add-in is also used in other
applications and across platforms. Any help would be appreciated.

Regards
Gerrit van Dyk

There's an example for embedding Internet Explorer in a wxPython app in the
wxPython demo.

But you probably want to write an ActiveX server to make an excel plugin.
Check out the the win32com stuff:

You can use the wxApp message loop instead of the pythonCom message loop as
most of the COM examples show.

Hope this helps.
