Hi,
Bret mentioned in one of the posts that in order for watir to be working,
win32ole ruby bindings needed to be patched.

I was wondering for what kind of patch this was?
If I want my own app to be driven using ole, what kind of patch I might
require to add?

I would appreciate pointers to the right forum if this is not the one.
Thanks and Regards,
Manish

I'm not quite sure what the basis for your question is. So i'll say some things and i hope you will find them useful. If not, please provide more details about what you are looking for.

Please don't take this personally, but since it seems like this is not clear to everyone on the list, i feel like i need to say that you should not feel insulted by my response and if you do, it would be better to say so than respond rudely yourself.

Now for your question.

The WIN32OLE patch was needed for our support for modal dialogs -- which are an IE-only feature. Specifically, we wrote a DLL that returned a reference to the DOM in the modal dialog. We needed a way to "cast" this into a WIN32OLE object. We patched the WIN32OLE library to provide this "casting" ability. The WIN32OLE patch is included in the Watir source so you can look at it yourself, if that helps.

Does this help?

Bret
