Access a COM object directly through its IDispatch implementation.

[eirik]

Hmm, this was much harder than I had anticipated ...

I have gotten the code in this thread to compile: http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/231. It says that the code is "complete". But I have no idea of how to use it. How do I communicate with the API? Do I still need the type library? How?

For reference the python sample code can be written in 3 lines:

import win32com.client
 
disto = win32com.client.Dispatch("disto2.application")
disto.SingleMeasure()

import win32com.client

disto = win32com.client.Dispatch("disto2.application")
disto.SingleMeasure()

One would think the Qt/C++ wouludn't be that hard in comparison. There is also some MFC/C++ sample code using COleDispatchDriver class.

I would like to do all in Qt/C++, but if someone has a solution using either python or MFC in some way I'm interested in hearing that as well.

Thanks
