how difficlut to create a com object in D

in vb6, reference Microsoft Internet Controls in project, then:
   Set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")

only one line code to create a instance of IE

but how difficult to do it in D!

jcc7's Juno seems great!
Juno:
http://dsource.org/projects/core32
example:
http://svn.dsource.org/projects/l8night/trunk/l8night/dfc/examples/browser/main.d
oldrev modified juno.com.base to fit new version of DMD:
http://bbs.yidabu.com/attachments/d/combase.zip

but Juno is very outdated! can't running in a recent version of DMD.


the IE example seems simple, unfornately, I'm newbie of programming, and New to D, I unable to do some work to get it running in a recent version of DMD

anybody help?

You ask for creating of  COM Objects ? (not sure, in case that ...)

import std.c.windows.com;

class MyCOMobject : ComObject
{
    extern (Windows):
	...
}
// from Digital Mars Documentation;
JUNO is AFAIK 1. not up to date (pre 1.0) and 2.  for COM clients/consumers

Just forget to say that the D example source directory is containing :
an example COM client program and server DLL.

thanks a lot.

I want to creating a instance of InternetExplorer, then SetParent() to Form.handle(created by DFL),display HTML + CSS in a GUI.

any example?

HeHeHe <g>  this is not done with only 2 lines of code. However in case that a "late binding" solution (like in VB for instance) is acceptable I can try to figure out the basics .. ? let me know.

I'm waiting for you answer!

If Juno were updated and we knew how to use it properly, I think it'd be pretty easy in D, too. But Juno is a little out-of-date right now (and I don't know how to use it very well).


> jcc7's Juno seems great!

I want to be clear: I'm a big fan of Juno (and I've added some content to its wiki), but it's not my project. Juno belongs to John.


> Juno:

Well, I don't mean to nitpick, but that's the link for Core32 (which I am kind of in charge of, but it's been abandoned).

Juno's link is http://www.dsource.org/projects/juno


> example: http://svn.dsource.org/projects/l8night/trunk/l8night/dfc/examples/browser/main.d

That example requires l8night/dfc and Core32 (both of which would need to be updated to use with recent versions of D). It shows how to create embed Internet Explorer into an application -- which I think is really cool, but it'd take some work to update it for DMD 1.00+.

I wouldn't consider Juno to be "very" outdated, but it hasn't been updated since a revision or two before DMD 1.00 came out. So its development has fallen behind.

I developed a simple Internet Explorer example to work using the Microsoft Script Control (which is sort of cheating) using a slightly modified version of oldrev's Juno version.

Anyway, I think it might be helpful for you, so I attached the code. I don't think that it quite does what you want, but perhaps it will serve as inspiration.
