What are com_record objects

[Stefan Schukat]

Use the Record Method from win32com.client

object = win32com.client.Dispatch("Server.Object")
IPAddress = win32com.client.Record("IPADDRESS_STRUCT", object)
IPAddress.b1 = 192
IPAddress.b2 = 168
IPAddress.b3 = 0
IPAddress.b4 = 1
object.connect(IPAddress)
