OleInitialize, CoCreateInstance, class IUnknown, class IDispatch, class Variant...Yes, I know. But I did not want to reinvent the wheel :)Besides, HDirect is large pile of outstanding work. Probably very much worth resurrecting. I'll think about this. Anyway automation bindings could be a bit of boost for Haskell popularity on Windows.-- Gracjan ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

Unfortunately, I don'tknow of a binary build of a recent version, and I have yet to manage to build it myself :-(Latest version is from January 2004, hierarchical library layout has changed a bit since then :( It doesn't compile for me, either.Anyway it seems to be a bit of overkill for what I want to do. I'm not aware of any other libraries to do this.Thanks for the pointer! Paul.-- Gracjan ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe

[Haskell-cafe] Haskell to call Microsoft COM (Dispatch)
Hi all,Is there any library to make Haskell call Microsoft COM functions using Dispatch? E.g I don't need the full COM binary functionality, scripting is enough. Google didn't seem to find anything interesting... beside rolling my own using FFI :) Thanks in advance!-- Gracjan ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
