Using Microsoft COM components from View/Pro or Command
[1/3] from: michal:kracik at: 30-Aug-2001 15:13
Hi Rebols,
has anyone managed to use a COM component from View/Pro or Command?
It seems to me that 'load/library and 'make routine! are not sufficient,
because COM methods are invoked with an indirect call through pointer table
and not as named library functions. Before I try to write a helper DLL, I'd
like to know whether anyone already has done it or whether there is a
simpler way.
The reason I ask for this is that lots of interesting functionality in
Windows 2000 is not available (or at least documented) as shared libraries
but only as COM components.

I heard that Python has a good COM support. Should be instructive to take a look
a the COM module sources. Here's a link to start with :

Thanks, I'll have a look at it.
