Heh.

Walter removed my post mentioning that I'd prettyprinted DMDScript, arranged
it into folders, and had activex half working?

It'll be on the web elsewhere once I finish getting activex working.  That's
all I can say.

I'll be sure to keep you guys informed.

Update:

I've currently got:
- a non-functional ActiveXObject() in DScript;
- a functional ActiveXObject() in D;

I derived the functional ActiveXObject from the one provided in Core32, and
ported
it over to the MinGW work done by Stewart Gordon (which had a bug with
ITypeInfo btw)

Now I have to:
- Put the two together to bind ActiveXObject in DScript to actual COM
- Write the Put/Get/Call routines for the ActiveXObject so they don't require
special methods (ex: ie.set("Visible",toVariant(true)); )

It's now 1pm here, if I'm lucky I'll have it done before bedtime.

Sounds great!

I assume your referring to this project:
http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?WindowsAPI

What was the error? Did you tell Stewart about it?

jcc,

Yes, that's the project.  No I didn't tell him.

The error was that some of his objbase.d functions expected ITypeInfo**'s,
instead
of just ITypeInfo*'s.  I just ran into two of them; and found it worked with
just
ITypeInfo*'s (actually ran)

I have put the two parts together, and now have an ActiveXObject within the
DScript engine.  When I hard code ie.set("Visible",toVariant(true)); etc, it
works.

The remaining issue now is to bind the working ActiveXObject to Dscript.  That
will involve some heavy modification of loadMembers() etc.

jcc, I just realized that nothing on dsource.org is licensed.  It just claims to
be "Open Source Development".  Any idea where I could get licensing information
(to cover myself?)

Oh, I think I ran across the same thing the other day. It seems to work when I
used a cast.

Is "Placed into public domain" good enough for your purposes?

I think the header of each file has the same public domain notice:
http://www.dsource.org/projects/bindings/browser/trunk/win32/w32api.d

I think they picked the MinGW headers as a basis because they are public domain
and the intention is to have the D port be public domain, too.

I think I solved some of those things in Walnut. Check its (old and abandoned) 
source at DSource.

Okay Carlos, I'll check it out.

Glad to know I don't have to bury the work because of licensing.  : )

I'm gonna be off for the rest of the day.  I'm sick with the flu.

I tried to sleuth down the source for walnut, but it's not visible online to

If someone could direct me to the location, I'd appreciate it.  Thanks, Dan.

You should get to the subversion repository using the below

svn co http://svn.dsource.org/projects/walnut walnut

Okay, from what I've read, the stuff that was part of walnut was related to
Core32
and MinGW (sp?)

I borrowed code from jcc7 and carlos already as public domain.

I created a DScript native object, the ActiveXObject, and attached the com
functionality from the borrowed code.  I've since modified toVariant to make it
implicit.  It's now done when you set, setByRef or call anything.

I'm now going to try to expose the names of the ActiveXObject set/get/call
"properties/methods" to DScript, and then work on being able to call them.

Dan <murpsoft hotmail.com> writes:

I now have it listing off the COM members within DScript.  It properly handles
constructor and prototype, and lists all the values as undefined.

I've been trying to get it to properly do gets through Dobject's Value*
Get(char[]
member){} So far it's not working.

Dan gets no banana.

In case anyone missed it, I've released source as "Walnut":

It's not perfect, but I think it's an improvement.

I don't recall removing any such posts, though there could have been 
some sort of error in the newsgroup software. Are you sure one was posted?
