Hi, i've been looking at the mmc documentation Ged kindly provided me, and i've some questions. As I understand, the mmc is a com object. It has some interfaces - described on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa815078(v=VS.85).aspx -, which are exported as usual in a COM environment, via registry. My question is about the maturity of the com infrastructure in reactos; are there some com objects already exported and used ? Where i could look for more info about COM in reactos ?
Thanks !
