Need ActiveX / COM info


Postby kornalius » Aug 18, 2004 @ 3:27pm

The #Import will create the list of defines (enum) and GUID's (dispatch) in PPL. That is all it does. No you don't need it if you don't want it.

ETA? I don't know, a couple more weeks. I have quite a bit of work to do... Here is a small list of the stuff I want to put in 0.8.

- Visual Form Builder on the pocketpc.
- Some enhancements to the Editor.ppl / Main.ppl.
- Finish activex / com. (90% done so far)
- "STRING" / 2 will result in "STR", "ING"
- "ABC" * 2 will result in "ABCABC"
- "ABCD" - "BC" will result in "AD"
- String$ = "POCKET"; String$[2,3] will result in "OCK" and String$[-1, 3] will result in "POC" and String$[3, -1] will result in "KET".
- Ability to use the console.ppl to issue PPL commands.
- Some enhancements and fixes to the PIDE.

Long list but other than the Visual Form Builder it will go pretty quickly I am pretty sure.

This is something I will have to look into. I also have to make sure things like (Fields[]) works in PPL. I don't know how I will implement these yet.

COM is a real nightmare to implement in a language, worse piece of technology ever created. The idea behind it is decent but the execution is one of Microsoft's usual business, it doesn't follow the rules most of the times.
