But COM has been adopted by Linux world too, and renamed to Bonobo. In fact, if you throw away all VB-specific stuff, COM and its C++ implementation is a great programming exercise and is imho quite elegant.
- Shog9 13y ago"The VB stuff" is pretty much all you get when you work with MS-Office. Don't know that I'd call COM "elegant", but you could probably do worse for a language-agnostic object system. Funny enough, I never really "got" COM until I sat down and read up on Bonobo. Someone had a really accessible explanation for Monikers that would've saved me so much hair-pulling if I'd had anything similar for the Windows equivalent.
