Title: New Lisp, Com? How
Post by: PapoAnaya on October 25, 2005, 02:41:32 PM
Hi:



Even though NewLisp can load DLL's using the import function, is there any way to access COM components from newLisp?  Probably this would solve some of the short comings like like of ODBC by using Jet and to be able to access Office from newLisp.



Regards,



Papo

No way to do OLE/COM with newLISP and most likely never will be. OLE/COM is very complex and requires a lot of code to implement.

That's ok, I can get by with loading dll's.  That's a very powerful feature by itself, specially the fact that wrappers do not need to be written for this to work.



... now, if I could only make the CLIPS.DLL to play nicely...
