POPython ActiveX automation
text
Body
copied!<p>I am trying to use ActiveX automation with python to control Audio Precision ATS-2. I am using pywin32 32-bit Windows XP with Python 2.7. </p> <p>I installed the audio Precision software. Then I used <em>makepy</em> utility which found Audio Precision in the list and created a wrapper for it. Everything is going well until I attempt to call dispatch function abd I am stuck. </p> <p>from guides I found online,</p> <pre><code>win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application") </code></pre> <p>What should I put in the area that says "Excel.Application"?</p> <p>How can I find this? </p> <p>When I used OLE/COM Object viewer, I see Audio Precision entries under type library, but I am unsure how does the information in it could help me.</p> <p>I have attempted few things on my own, but got almost no result. The best result I got was when I entered the <code>CLSID</code> in dispatch function, which I found in the wrapper object makepy created.</p> <pre><code>win32com.client.Dispatch("{80EC6E76-D94F-48EB-8F4C-05BDD7850BF1}") </code></pre> <p>which gave me the following error:</p> <pre><code> Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\win32com\gen_py\APtest.py", line 5, in <module> xlApp = win32com.client.Dispatch("{80EC6E76-D94F-48EB-8F4C-05BDD7850BF1}") File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 95, in Dispatch dispatch, userName = dynamic._GetGoodDispatchAndUserName(dispatch,userName,clsctx) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 108, in _GetGoodDispatchAndUserName return (_GetGoodDispatch(IDispatch, clsctx), userName) File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 85, in _GetGoodDispatch IDispatch = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(IDispatch, None, clsctx, pythoncom.IID_IDispatch) com_error: (-2147221164, 'Class not registered', None, None) </code></pre> <p>I have:</p> <ul> <li>looked under the registry, and the ID is indeed not registered anywhere. There are few Audio Precision entries, but doesn't look like it has anything that could fix this.</li> <li>attempted reinstalling the Audio Precision software, but it didn't help.</li> <li>attempted to register the dll objects in the Audio Precision control(ATS 1.60) software with <code>regsrv32</code>, but all gave errors and would not register(which I suspect aren't the right ones I need to register)</li> </ul> <p>How can I fix this?</p>
