I want to give a try to the automatization of MS Office, and I see that it is needed to install the COM Standard Library.

I've been trying to undertand how it works but I couldn't :s


So, what do I have to do with the downloaded "COM.ahk"?

Thanks

Functions -> Libraries of Functions: Standard Library and User Library wrote:
A script may call a function in an external file without having to use #Include. For this to work, a file of the same name as the function must exist in one of the following library directories:

%A_MyDocuments%\AutoHotkey\Lib\ ; User library. This directory is optional; it may be entirely absent.
path-to-the-currently-running-AutoHotkey.exe\Lib\ ; Standard library. This is also optional.


"This directory is optional; it may be entirely absent." sounds confusing; I think that (also as I tested) the directory named "Lib" has to exist if you want to use Standard Library functions.

I have been looking into COM a little, wanting to learn about it as well. I want to work with excel in it, but the help info is way to technical.


Any chance of getting a 'for dummys' deffinition of some COM basics, so the beginers out there can get a simple how to crash tutorial? Just to learn the basics, that we can expand upon.

I agree with the guest. It would be nice to have a short brief explanation of what each one of these fuctions do, similar to the examples and explanation of standard autohotkey functions.
