* [Caml-list] accessing COM server, example code ? @ 2002-07-30 11:24 udo_goebel 2002-07-30 12:14 ` Dmitry Bely 0 siblings, 1 reply; 2+ messages in thread From: udo_goebel @ 2002-07-30 11:24 UTC (permalink / raw) To: caml-list Hi, I have to access a COM component on win2k. After reading the camlidl doc this seems to be all right with ocaml. Are there serious restrictions of doing this within ocaml compared to e.g. C, C++? Is there some example code around of how to do it in practice in ocaml?

Currenly only custom (C++ vtable style) interfaces are supported for COM clients written using Ocaml/camlidl. Dispatch interfaces are not supported yet. Among many other things, this means that you will need .idl definition files for your COM server, type libraries are not enough. You can generate .idl from type libraries using Microsoft's OleView tool, but for compex cases that's not an easy task. > Is there some example code around > of how to do it in practice in ocaml? Look at examples in camlidl distribution. - Dmitry Bely ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 2+ messages in thread
