  I raised an issue here, but just in case somebody knows here. Do you know how to automate some tasks in OneNote using winim?

  It looks like a python's minimal example goes like:

  
  import win32com.client
  onObj = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('OneNote.Application.12')
  result = onObj.GetHierarchy("",win32com.client.constants.hsNotebooks)
  print(result)
  Run

  I have tried:

  import winim/com
  
  comScript:
    var obj = CreateObject("OneNote.Application.15")
    obj.GetHierarchy("", 2) # hsNotebooks = 2
    COM_FullRelease()
  Run

  I get:

  
  Error: unhandled exception: unsupported method: GetHierarchy [COMError]
  Run

  Any idea?

  some guesses:

  • are you compiling to 32bit ? - or
  • in your python example you wrote OneNote.Application.12 not OneNote.Application.15, maybe GetHierarchy was removed
  • you are not using the return result ! try var res = obj.GetHierarchy("", 2)

  Thanks @adrianv,

  I am not compiling to 32bits. But I tried some Excel and Word examples and they work fine (compiled in the same way).

  I tried with OneNote.Application.12, OneNote.Application.15 and OneNote.Application. All of them fail.

  GetHierarchy is still there because the python version works.

  Regarding the last bullet, I missed it when I wrote the post. I will update it.

  I think that it might be related with Late-/Early- bound IDispatch (which I don't understand). In the python example that I found, it uses .gencache.EnsureDispatch instead of Dispatch. I don't know if there is something equivalent in winim.
