It's been more than five years since I've worked with MysterX, so my memory is rusty. The source is in racket/src/mysterx/mysterx.cc The relevant method is mx_make_call It looks like if there is no pTypeDesc for the method (no typelib), then it calls buildMethodArgumentsUsingDefaults to marshal the arguments into a VARIANT with a default marshaling. It then tries to use the IDispatch interface (COM Automation) to find the method entry. Nothing will be checked, so if it doesn't work, bad things will happen, but it works well enough for the simple stuff. If your object doesn't support IDispatch, then you are out of luck (because then we don't even know the offset of the method in the vtable) From the look of it, though, if your COM object does support IDispatch, then you ought to be able to invoke a method by name using the Scheme primitive com-invoke even if you don't have a typelib. Just call it and cross your fingers. -- ~jrm _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
