Re: [Factor-talk] scripting excel / office on windows with IDispatch / COM

[Naveen Garg]

 There's a library for making COM interfaces in
 basis/windows/com/com.factor. It doesn't look like we have an
 IDispatch interface, but you can make one. ...
 Let me know if you have problems with the COM binding.

Thanks Doug. I think I have an idea on how to proceed.  I will let you know
if I get stuck.
Meanwhile, I have been able to wrap a ffi to autohotkey in factor which can
bridge the gap.

Hi Naveen,

There's a library for making COM interfaces in
basis/windows/com/com.factor. It doesn't look like we have an
IDispatch interface, but you can make one. The docs are kind of
minimal, so follow the example in the -tests.factor file.

As far as scripting Word, I doubt anyone has done so.

Let me know if you have problems with the COM binding.

 Hi folks,
 I am really interested in using factor.
 I would like to glue it with preexisting code in other languages, mostly
 autohotkey.
 My favorite inter-process communication is using safearrays / COM.
 Does anyone have an IDispatch interface / safearray functions wrappers
 implementation in factor ?
 Has anyone used factor to script microsoft word / excel etc.
 I think being able to write com scripting automation clients and servers in
 factor could really help proliferate factor on windows.
