Need ActiveX / COM info

[kornalius]

Hi,

I have almost finished implementing the COM functions into PPL but I have a problem. I see a bunch of COM objects in my registry but I don't know what methods (names) they have in them. I can load them but I need to be able to Invoke a method. I would like to test with a an easy object. I have seen the "GridCtrl.GridCtrl.1" and would like to Invoke one of it's method.

Or maybe someone has a com object that has all the documentation with it?

Hello All,

I have just returned from my 10-day break. Managed to download the 0.7b release of PPL while I was away. Found a little time to run some basic tests and continue with my GPS programming exercise. All the "fixes" appear to work fine and release 0.7b appears is working well.

Kornalius ... I thought you were having a break ... it certainly wouldn't appear so from the work you have been doing ... looks great and will also be interested in testing some of the ADOCE stuff.

cheers

I think I will leave it this way for now and see what the beta testers come up with. I will then get solid samples and I will see what can be done. So far, the COM functions work very well.

#IMPORT "activex.dll"
CreateObject("clsid or progid")
Invoke(objecthandle$, "method name", [parameters...])
GetProperty(objecthandle$, "property name")
SetProperty(objecthandle$, "property name", value)
T(Value, VariantType)
CreateSafeArray()
SafeArrayDestroy()

I have support for all types of VARIANT including SafeArrays.

The T() function converts a value to a specific VARIANT type. ex:

T(10, VT_BSTR)

Is the #IMPORT step required, or can you use a COM object without it? Also, any ETA on when this version will be arriving in our greedy little hands?
