win32com.client Excel Color Porblem

[Ray]

Hi,

I need to use cell's background color.

when I record a macro from excel, it shows:

Rows("7:7").Select
With Selection.Interior
.ColorIndex = 8
.Pattern = xlSolid

how do I run it from python win32com ?
xlApp.ActiveSheet.Rows("7:7").ColorIndex won't work.


Thanks for any Help.

PS: where or how to find a win32com reference?

My Excel Template + Rows

# -*- encoding:utf-8 -*-
import win32com.client

try: import psyco; psyco.full()
except ImportError: pass

try:
app = win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application.11") # Excel
2003
except com_error:
try:
app = win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application.10") # Excel
XP
except com_error:
try:
app = win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application.9") #
Excel 2000
except com_error:
try:
app = win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application.8")
# Excel 97
except com_error:
app = win32com.client.Dispatch("Excel.Application") #
Excel 5.0?
# Or raise "No Office ..."

app.Visible = True
wbk = app.Workbooks.Add()
app.DisplayAlerts = False
while wbk.Worksheets.Count > 1:
wbk.Worksheets[0].Delete()
wbk.Worksheets[0].Name = "SHIT"
sht = wbk.Worksheets[0] # Containers starts with 0!
sht.Name += "$"

# Rows
rng = sht.Rows(7)
rng.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
sht.Rows(8).Interior.ColorIndex = 8
# Rows End

app.DisplayAlerts = True
wbk.SaveAs(r"c:\temp\test.xls")
app.Quit()
