Doug,
The module COM contains certain types and procedures that are necessary
to implement COM components or clients with our Direct-To-COM compiler.
As module SYSTEM, module COM is a pseudo module, i.e., no symbol file
exists for module COM. If module COM is imported, this is only a
declaration for the compiler.
If you want to use COM without the Direct-To-COM compiler, you have to
write your own interface module in order to access Windows API
procedures such as CoCreateGuid. How to compose interface modules is
described in the Platform-Specific Issues section of the BlackBox
documentation. Instead of COM.GUID, you can simply use the following
type declaration: GUID = ARRAY 16 OF BYTE.
Best regards,
Marc,

Subject: COM declaration
Hello,
In WinOle we find (among others) the procedure
PROCEDURE CoCreateGuid (VAR [nil] pguid: COM.GUID): COM.RESULT;
which makes reference to the module "COM", however that module does not
exist within BB1.4 (highlighting COM and doing Ctrl-D
produces "module COM not found". In general, how can I call such
procedures without the interface for the module COM?
