What does it mean with a COM class

Hello!

I know this is wrong NG but somebody might know this question.

We are now talking about Component Object Model(COM).
If you don't know COM stop reding here.

Is COM class the class that implements the Interface?

OR

Is COM class the class that contains the class that is implementing the
interface?

One may say so. The only mandatory interface a COM class must implement is
IUnknown.

What's better about Ruby than Python? I'm sure there's something. What is it? This is not a troll. I'm language shopping and I want people's answers. I don't know beans about Ruby or have any preconceived ideas about it. I have noticed, however, that every programmer I talk to who's aware of Python is also talking about Ruby. So it seems that Ruby has the potential to compete with and displace Python. I'm curious on what basis it...

What makes a good C/C++ programmer? Would you be surprised if I told you that it has almost nothing to do with your knowledge of C or C++? There isn't much difference in productivity, for example, between a C/C++ programmers with a few weeks of experience and a C/C++ programmer with years of experience. You don't really need to understand the subtle details or use the obscure features of either language

First of all, I'm an Asian and I need to input Japanese, Korean and so on. I've tried many PHP IDEs today, but almost non of them supported Unicode (UTF-8) file. I've found that the only Unicode support IDEs are DreamWeaver 8 and Zend PHP Studio. DreamWeaver provides full support for Unicode. However, DreamWeaver is a web editor rather than a PHP IDE. It only supports basic IntelliSense (or code completion) and doesn't have anything...

Some of the classes in the framework are marked as thread-safe in the documentation. In particular the docs say the following: "Any public static (*Shared* in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe." What exactly does this mean? Does this mean that if I call a shared method from 2 different threads, nothing whacky will happen? Also when it says that instance members...

Think for a moment: IF you were Bjarne Stroustrup in 1985 (or whenever he were doing it) writing down C++, and knowing all you know NOW of the C++ language, (pro, cons, features of today languages)... What do *you* change of it to make a better (in any sense you want) language? some example issues: Unicode? Native string type?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
