pywin32

When using the win32api from pywin, I am getting incorrect values for the cursor position. My screen's resolution is 1920x1080, but when I use GetCursorPos() I have (0,0) in the top left and (1535,863) in the bottom right.

Or if all the other processes are only 800x600 despite there being a huge resolution then that is probably what the user wants. Why make them waste time and energy resizing my window to match all the others they have? I am primarily a Windows devoloper but it wouldn't upset me in the least if there was a cross platform way to do this. Using hints from WindowMover article

I am currently trying to create a win32 service using pywin32. My main point of reference has been this tutorial: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/551780/ What i don't understand is the initialization process, since the Daemon is never initialized directly by Daemon(), instead from my understanding its initialized by the following: mydaemon = Daemon __svc_regClass__(mydaemon, "foo", "foo display", "foo description") __svc_install__(mydaemon) Where svc_install , handles the initalization, by calling Daemon. init () and passing some arguments to it. But how can i initialize the daemon object,

I've read that it is possible to automate monthly reports in Crystal Reports with COM/ActiveX. I'm not that advanced to understand what this is or what you can even do with it. I also do a lot of work with Excel and it looks like you also use COM/ActiveX to interface with it. Can someone explain how this works and maybe provide a brief example? luc First you have to install the wonderful pywin32 module. It provides COM support. You need to run the makepy utility. It is located at C:\...\Python26\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client . On Vista, it must be ran with admin rights. This utility will
