Tim's COM+ Utilities

Quote:
The great and powerful Tim Ewald (author of Transactional COM+: Building Scalable Applications and personal friend of mine) put together a handy little set of COM+ classes and utility functions in a concise header file that he has graciously allowed me to host. Among my favorites are IsInActivity, IsInTransaction, IsSecurityEnabled, GetCallersName, IsCallerInRole, and parameterized versions of CoGetObjectContext and GetAspObject (which is even cooler than my CAspPtr).


... and there are more interesting code/utils on that page

ComWizard

Quote:
ComWizard, a tool for understanding how COM (Component Object Model) and DCOM (Distributed COM) work.

I wrote ComWizard to help me learn about COM. I now use it as a diagnostic tool for DCOM trouble-shooting.


Cool

Sounds promising. Guessing there's no kind of "COM-with-AHK-Starter-HowTo", right?
Advise about COM, given at several threads of Sean & friends is often to sophisticated to be of help for noobs to get used with AHK&COM. Sad

A really good tool is COMView, located at-

http://www.japheth.de/Download/COMView.ZIP

I thought it should be posted here too, as this could become a list of tools.

Cool. I just now downloaded COMview and was randomly scoping the VBA Dlls and found some stuff that wasn't showing in the object browser of the VBA IDE.

Would I be correct in guessing that VBA statements are just wrappers for Dll calls which are, in turn, wrappers for Windows API? I'm trying to get a better conceptual grasp of how languages like VBA and AHK work under the hood, as well as a better conceptual grasp of programming concepts in general.
