I had heard about COM in Win8. Is it still being promoted as a development target? It's been tolerated in .Net for ages but always prefaced with phrases like "legacy technology." COM's main drawback is that it has not caught on outside of Microsoft. For those of us interested in portable programmi

amusingly, COM lives on: "Under the covers, Windows 8 uses a combination of the decades-old Component Object Model (COM), the ECMA-335 standard for a Common Language Interface (CLI) to define metadata around API calls" http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1853667&seqNum=3 On 27 Nove

I have changed my blog post and added a footnote noting Bill's observation that 7.01 can function as a COM client. If anyone has run 7.01 as a COM server please let us know. jdb On Sun, Nov 25, 2012 at 11:22 AM, bill lam wrote: > I have never used J as a COM server, but apparently the j.dl

I have never used J as a COM server, but apparently the j.dll of j701 can be stll be registered as a DLL COM server, at leaset that is the code in open source j engine. Or I might be wrong... Вск, 25 Ноя 2012, John Baker писал(а): > I just took a quick look at this script. It looks like j functio

I just took a quick look at this script. It looks like j functions as a COM client. This is very useful but unless I've missed something this is quite different than functioning as a server. So j 7 can communicate with COM servers but without building a blackend like JHS it cannot be registered

Right now I am not sure if any single JavaScript library is up to the job but there are certainly good grids and graphics libraries. D3 has been mentioned here, if you Google JavaScript grids you will quickly find half a dozen. For general purpose utilities jQuery is widely used. I am just start

You blog said COM is un-available in j701 which is not true. The addon wdooo can provide support for COM, futhermore because it is open source and directly call at api level, it can support more functions than that in j602. FYI. Вск, 25 Ноя 2012, John Baker писал(а): > I've posted a new blog ent
