COM Server & wxPython

[nelson]

Hi all,
i'm doing a COM server that have to expose some graphics (panels and
configuration controls), that would be embedded in an application through
OLE. I was wondering if I can do this using wxPython. Another question is
if my COM server would inherits from one of the wxPython class. If it's
true, from which? wx.App, wx.Frame, wx.Panel.

The important thing is that i would to have the same effect that you have
when you the calendar OLE control on a Delphi or VB form (you see the
graphics ;) )

thanks,
nelson

I found a mailing list message in which one person got errors trying to
make a wx.Frame into a COM server, and someone else claimed to have
made a wx app into a COM server (and unfortunately that project seems
to have disappeared):

If inheriting from a wxPython class doesn't work, maybe you can create
a COM server wrapper for the wxPython class.

Re: COM Server & wxPython

Hi,

I do not know what your constraints are ... but, having been through the
same thought process (because there is not VB6 _free_ calendar) ... I feel
that getting to that stage _might_ justify rewriting the application in
Python/wxPython (and potentially gain cross-platform compatibility in the
process).
