COMLib-anton

MS Windows COM access from REBOL

COMLib is originally from Benjamin Maggi. This re-engineered fork is by Anton Rolls.

Introduction

COMLib is an interface library that allows a licensed REBOL to talk to applications using COM on the Windows platform.


Basically, this COMLib distribution supplies you with the yellow boxes in the diagram.

COMLib has two core parts: COMLib.r and com2rebol.dll.
Your rebol script does COMLib.r, which in turn uses Rebol's External Library Interface to load com2rebol.dll (a Dynamic Link Library). Com2rebol.dll gains most of its functionality from DispHelper. Com2rebol.dll has extra wrapper functions which are easier for Rebol to use.

A licensed Rebol; for example you have either a licensed Rebol SDK or a licensed Rebol/View/Pro. I've been testing COMLib with Rebol/View/Pro 1.3.2.3.1

BSD License

The license for COMLib-anton is BSD, just like DispHelper.
