I know this has to be via corba/bonobo, but apart from that I'm pretty lost. I've had a look at the Evo .oaf files, but have little clue how to continue. I've installed bonobo-python ready.I'm not sure that anyone who understands the Evolution corba interfaces is also familiar with the Python/Perl corba bindings. :-} The basic thing to understand is that most of the interfaces are asynchronous. The client has to create "listener" objects that listen for responses from the backend. So something like: factory = [Get the GNOME:Addressbook:BookFactory object from oaf] listener = [Create your own GNOME:Addressbook:BookListener object] factory.openBook ("file:/.../addressbook.db", listener); Then your listener object's "notifyBookOpened" method will be called at some point and given a GNOME:Addressbook:Book object. And you can invoke the getVCard method on that, which will eventually cause your listener's notifyCardRequested method to be called with the card data.
I have a question somewhat related to this, so I'm tagging along on the
thread...
how do I create and access a composer object through CORBA?
I can get the shell by the python script:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import bonobo
import Bonobo
from GNOME import Evolution
shell = bonobo.get_object("OAFIID:GNOME_Evolution_Shell",
"IDL:GNOME/Evolution/Shell:1.0")
and from there I can fire up a composer though the handleURI method in
the shell interface:
shell.handleURI("mailto:foo bar baz xx")
but handleURI returns void, so I don't get access to the composer
object, and so I cannot access it through the composer interface. How do
I actually _get_ a reference to a composer?
