Minitab COM

Post by Trisolaris » 16 Apr 2021, 04:23

Hi,

I'm trying to automate tasks in the Minitab statistics software. The basic way of doing it is via macros which can be recorded within the software and edited in Notepad. However, this method does not support e.g. relative folder paths or arguments.
However, Minitab supports COM (see this manual: https://support.minitab.com/en-us/minitab/19/media/pdfs/notranslate/Minitab_Automation.pdf).
I do some basic COM manipulation for Office, but could not get my head around to using COM in Minitab.

Can anyone help me get a basic level of understanding COM as supported by Minitab? Compiling an exe file from an AHK script to interact with Minitab via COM would be a great step forward in my automation project.
