pcsoft.us.windevCopyright 2026, PC SOFT16 Feb 2016 22:33:56 Z12 Feb 2016 09:36:24 ZHi, I would need to use COM classes provided by another company. I have seen COMCreateInstance and COMCallMethod but is there another way? I was expecting that I would be able to import the type library of the COM classes and then be able to declare the imported types and work with them directly. But I can not find any relevant information in the manuals. For example // Declare a variable (assuming RX is the type library and CutOptimizer is the name of the imported COM class) vCutOptimizer is RX.CutOptimizer // Retrieve the interface. I would use "new" in VB vCutOptimizer = new RX.CutOptimizer vCutOptimizer.DoSomething vCutOptimizer.DoSomethingElse etc. Is this possible?
