View source for COM Objects

mIRC allows you to call COM objects via scripts. You must have experience with COM objects in order to use this feature.

== /COMOPEN ==
This opens a COM connection to object progid eg. Excel.Application, and assigns the connection a name.
 /comopen name progid

'''$comerr''' should be checked after a call to any COM command or identifier. Returns 1 if there was an error, 0 otherwise.

== /COMCLOSE ==
Use /comclose to close the COM connection.
 /comclose name

== /COMLIST ==
Use /comlist to list all open COM connections.
 /comlist

== /COMREG ==
 /comreg -u filename

This registers/unregisters a COM DLL with windows.


'''Example'''
 alias comRegister {
   comopen name progid
 
   ; if comopen failed, maybe the DLL that came with the script is not registered
   if ($comerr) {
 
     ;register the DLL
     comreg test.dll
 
     ;try to open it again
     comopen name progid
 
     ; still failed, halt the script
     if ($comerr) halt
   }
 }
