COM Supporting in rebol.

I've been working in a project to add supporting for COM objects in REBOL, it requires /pro /command to work because it uses a DLL to perform calls. The idea of this project is to provide REBOL's the ability to "talk" to COM objects not just a few one's but to all kind of COM object, by providing a set of generic functions to do so: 1° Create and destroy objects. 2° Call Methods with custom arguments. 3° Set Properties and values (text, numbers, objects...). 4° Retrieve objects, collections, text and numbers. 5° work with multiple arguments. 6° Error handlers. 7º ... The project sources can be found on this links: http://www.geocities.com/benjaminmaggi/data/COMLib.zip ;The Main Source,wrapper and DLL. http://www.geocities.com/benjaminmaggi/doc/comlib.html ;The Documentation. http://www.geocities.com/benjaminmaggi/data/COMLib_Word_exmp.zip ;MS word examples. http://www.geocities.com/benjaminmaggi/data/COMLib_Exel_exmp.zip ;MS exel examples. http://www.geocities.com/benjaminmaggi/data/COMLib_IE_exmp.zip ;Iexplorer examples. http://www.geocities.com/benjaminmaggi/data/COMLib_WMI_exmp.zip ;WMI Examples. the examples show using Office automation, Windows Management Instrumentation(WMI) and Internet explorer. but you can use COMLib to perform other COM automation tasks, like Speech API, wizard and more, If you have to do COM interfacing try this one ! The project still remains an alpha testing stage. im working on ! Feedbacks are welcome. You can also find a discussion board on AltMe REBOL3, search for "COM supporting" group Benjamin. _________________________________________________________________ Las mejores tiendas, los precios mas bajos, entregas en todo el mundo, YupiMSN Compras: http://latam.msn.com/compras/

So, now, is it possible to imagine a IE brower on a rebol face ? Charles. Benjamin Maggi a =E9crit :

I like the concept, but unfortunately I haven't been able to run the sample code in a version of Command/View. Not sure if it's a version problem or something else. (error says " Invalid argument: callback!") Reminds me of some of the capabilities that Ruby supports natively. See article referenced at: http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/61035 Although it runs counter to the platform-independence dogma, it would be interesting if Carl reviewed and gave an opinion on his blog. As it currently stands, I imagine that developers requiring any kind of Windows integration or widgetry steer far clear of REBOL (with similar issues on OS X). Ed On 10/22/05, Benjamin Maggi wrote:

Callbacks are supported by rebol of course to use it in library calls you need to have /pro /command. Im know this will break the cross plataform independence, this is why im researching on XPCOM technology because i found it to be better and open source !. still not massively used we all know greko lib for mozilla... so i think RT have to take a look to this new concepts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Ed O'Connor <edoconnor-gmail.com> Reply-To: rebolist-rebol.com To: rebolist-rebol.com Subject: [REBOL] Re: COM Supporting in rebol.

Since Command/View has not been updated for a while, I suspect that is where your problem lies. Try using /Pro instead .. it should work with your existing license. On 10/26/05, Ed O'Connor <edoconnor-gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks for the tip Graham. I initially tried the script (unsuccessfully) with View/Pro 1.2.1.3.1, and then turned to Command/View when that didn't work. I also wasn't successful in locating/downloading a View/Pro executable on rebol.com. If anyone has a link, please email me directly at gmail.com. Thanks On 10/25/05, Graham Chiu wrote:
