Try com technology with masm.

Try com technology with masm.

If anyone is interested I have developed a tool to get easy access to modules with com-based technology. The tool is a typelibrary browser and a code generator. You need the Automatic.lib static library and Automatic.inc file.

The package contains

AutomationEXE.exe - Automation Tool application
Tool.chm - Automation Tool helpfile

Automation.lib - Static library
Automation.inc -  Include file for Static library
Automation.chm - Static library helpfile

Dialog_ComApp.tpl - Masm template

Example1.zip - Make your asm dll accessible to Visual Basic.
Example2.zip - How to use a Visual Basic dll.
Example3.zip - MS Excel demonstration.
Example4.zip - MS Word demonstration.
Example5.zip - Microsoft Speech Object Library demonstration.

Download the package (518 kb) here http://minor28.divdev.se/Package.zip

Very nice!   :U

Were those written in masm, or simply FOR masm using another language?  Also, a slight bug report: If you view the CoClass tab without a TypeLib selected, the program crashes.  But in any case, it looks to be very useful.

I've been using your old comtool version. Thanks for updating it! It's extremely useful and it taught me how to access com objects.
