VI.0.1.5 Accessing the COM component in compiled languages

Section VII.1.1.4 shows an example of C++ program in which the component is accessed. This object shows that the use of COM component from compiled languages is significantly more difficult than from interpreted languages. This is related to the fact that the management of many operations has to be done by the programmer and is no longer dealt with by the interpreted language.

This example also shows that additional information should be added to the documentation to allow an easy access to the different methods and classes of the component by the compiled languages programmers. This documentation is still under development.

Actually, the example shows even more that the component that is being developed is adapted to the use with languages that support the Microsoft IDispatch interface. However, a library adapted to the use with C++ language should also be developed. Consequently we do not advise to use the component from C++ or C language.
