[python-win32] Re: COM Events

[Christian Junker]

Very interesting thread, I am trying something similiar for OpenOffice.org, which has a quite similiar listener system.
If someone has ever written a listener or handler for OpenOffice.org via COM, please let me know, I am digging in the dark.

Best regards
Christian Junker
