Re: COM: Minimal example of a custom server working with DispatchWithEvents()

Hi,


There is no typelib file unfortunately. The interface needs to communicate
with Antidote's API by creating a COM server which exposes the methods
defined in the AdapteurAntidote class.


The problem is that the widget queried (a QTextEdit) is instantiated in
another class (MainWindow), and I cannot attribute a "parent" to the
dispatched COM object (self.server), as it raises either an AttributeError
or a TypeError, depending on its declaration in __public_attrs__.


From the documentation, I thought I needed to use DispatchWithEvents to
handle the events in a separate "sink" class (ImplementationAntidote) that
would behave more like a generic python object. Is there any other way to
achieve this? It is quite a trivial feature so I assume it is possible to
do so?


Best,

Will
