I created a VB6 DLL and it is registered on my PC. I have pywin32 and python2.7 installed. I ran makepy in the win32com\client dir and chose the appropriate DLL. I am now at a loss as to how to use this DLL in my Python program…examples on the Web show win32com.client.Dispatch(X), but what do I use for X? How do I use a human readable name to access this DLL in Python?
The parameter that should be in Dispatch is a string called the ProgID (Program ID). This is of the form
<projectname>.<classname>. So for instance, if your VB6 project was called BusinessLib, and it contained a Public class called Formulae, the string would beBusinessLib.Formulae.
