Re: [Haskell-cafe] ActiveX and COM
Hi Günther, You can also consider the hscom library: http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/hscom/ There is a simple demo that automates MS Agent. The library is not completed but if you are interested only in controlling Excel via automation it should provide what you need. I started hscom because I was disappointed from HDirect while working on Visual Haskell. It overcomes some problems and in addition it is designed to be more in the style of the modern FFI library. The library is not under active development but I can assist with simple fixes.

Re: [Haskell-cafe] ActiveX and COM
Ooops, I just realized that hpaste truncated my source file at 5k (it's 8k long). Unfortunately the Excel file creation code is in the truncated part of the file ;-) So if you are interested in getting the full source, just ask. ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

I just pasted the code here: http://hpaste.org/9381 I'm using Excel 2003 and it works with XML.

Günther Schmidt пишет: Hi, what is currently the recommend way to interface with COM from haskell? I need to create an Excel Sheet and thus need to use Excel via COM. Günther You have the HDirect package, you need some tweaking to compile it with the current GHC. I only have a professionnal access to a Windows box, so I have no time to work on an official patch. You may contact me by e-mail, and I'll send you my patched version of the library and some instruction on how to build something that should be workable. If you need to simply create and Excel Sheet, you may also try it using the new Microsoft XML format (it will only work with Office 2007, though) ; then you do not need COM.
