I've been reading over D's com and can't find anything useful. It
seems there are different ways:
http://www.lunesu.com/uploads/ModernCOMProgramminginD.pdf
which is of no help and requires an idl file, which I don't have.
Then theres this
http://wiki.dlang.org/COM_Programming
which is also of no help:
import std.stdio;
import std.stdio, core.sys.windows.com, core.sys.windows.windows,
std.exception, std.meta, std.traits;
import std.utf, core.stdc.stdlib, core.sys.windows.objidl,
core.sys.windows.ole2;
pragma(lib, "ole32.lib");
GUID Guid(string str)()
{
static assert(str.length==36, "Guid string must be 36 chars
long");
enum GUIDstring = "GUID(0x" ~ str[0..8] ~ ", 0x" ~ str[9..13]
~ ", 0x" ~ str[14..18] ~
", [0x" ~ str[19..21] ~ ", 0x" ~ str[21..23] ~ ", 0x" ~
str[24..26] ~ ", 0x" ~ str[26..28]
~ ", 0x" ~ str[28..30] ~ ", 0x" ~ str[30..32] ~ ", 0x" ~
str[32..34] ~ ", 0x" ~ str[34..36] ~ "])";
return mixin(GUIDstring);
}
int main(string[] argv)
{
// Adobe Photoshop App 9.0 CLSID
{c09f153e-dff7-4eff-a570-af82c1a5a2a8}
// Adobe Photoshop App 9.1 CLSID
{6DECC242-87EF-11cf-86B4-444553540000}
auto CLSID_DOMDocument60 =
Guid!("6DECC242-87EF-11cf-86B4-444553540000");
auto iid = IID_IUnknown;
void* pUnk;
auto hr = CoCreateInstance(&CLSID_DOMDocument60, null,
CLSCTX_ALL, &iid, &pUnk);
if (FAILED(hr))
throw new Exception("Error!");
writeln("Hello D-World!");
return 0;
}
Maybe my CLSID's are wrong. Got them from the registry. The
exception triggers each time. Even if it worked, I wouldn't know
how to use it.
I can do this stuff in C# by simply dragging and dropping a dll
into the references and it works fine but is a bit slow. I was
hoping I could speed things up using D but it seems like COM
isn't really supported, despite what several references say.
