how difficlut to create a com object in D

in vb6, reference Microsoft Internet Controls in project, then:
   Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
   
only one line code to create a instance of IE

but how difficult to do it in D!
	
jcc7's Juno seems great! 
Juno:
http://dsource.org/projects/core32 
example:
http://svn.dsource.org/projects/l8night/trunk/l8night/dfc/exa
ples/browser/main.d 
oldrev modified juno.com.base to fit new version of DMD:
http://bbs.yidabu.com/attachments/d/combase.zip 

but Juno is very outdated! can't running in a recent version of DMD.


the IE example seems simple, unfornately, I'm newbie of programming, and New to
D, I unable to do some work to get it running in a recent version of DMD 

anybody help?

HeHeHe <g>  this is not done with only 2 lines of code. However in case that a
"late binding" solution (like in VB for instance) is acceptable I can try to
figure out the basics .. ? let me know.

If Juno were updated and we knew how to use it properly, I think it'd be 
pretty easy in D, too. But Juno is a little out-of-date right now (and I 
don't know how to use it very well).



 jcc7's Juno seems great!


I want to be clear: I'm a big fan of Juno (and I've added some content 
to its wiki), but it's not my project. Juno belongs to John.



 Juno:
 http://dsource.org/projects/core32 


Well, I don't mean to nitpick, but that's the link for Core32 (which I 
am kind of in charge of, but it's been abandoned).

Juno's link is http://www.dsource.org/projects/juno



 example:
 http://svn.dsource.org/projects/l8night/trunk/l8night/dfc/exa
ples/browser/main.d 


That example requires l8night/dfc and Core32 (both of which would need 
to be updated to use with recent versions of D). It shows how to create 
embed Internet Explorer into an application -- which I think is really 
cool, but it'd take some work to update it for DMD 1.00+.



 oldrev modified juno.com.base to fit new version of DMD:

I wouldn't consider Juno to be "very" outdated, but it hasn't been 
updated since a revision or two before DMD 1.00 came out. So its 
development has fallen behind.

I developed a simple Internet Explorer example to work using the 
Microsoft Script Control (which is sort of cheating) using a slightly 
modified version of oldrev's Juno version.

Anyway, I think it might be helpful for you, so I attached the code. I 
don't think that it quite does what you want, but perhaps it will serve 
as inspiration.
