COMObject (Variable type)

In french: COMObjet

The COMObject type is used to represent an interface of a COM object. This type of variable is initialized by COMCreateInstance.

Then, the methods of this interface can be called by COMCallMethod.

Note: For more details on the declaration of this type of variable and the use of WLanguage properties, see Declaring a variable

Example

// Initialisation d'une chaîne Unicode de 260 caractères
PapierPeint is string Unicode
PapierPeint = AnsiToUnicode(RepeatString(" ", 260))

// Déclaration d'une variable de type COMObjet
ActiveDesktop is COMObject

// Récupération de l'interface de manipulation du bureau
ActiveDesktop = COMCreateInstance("75048700-EF1F-11D0-9888-006097DEACF9", ...
				"F490EB00-1240-11D1-9888-006097DEACF9")
IF ErrorOccurred = False THEN
