As the subject of this post suggests, I have one question; what are
COM-enabled applications? I believe Microsoft Word is one of these
apps, but what else? Is a web browser, Paint, Solitare, games, etc? I'm
not sure if it varies from operating system to operating system, but I
am talking about COM applications in Windows. Thanks for any and all of
your help and time.
As Mr. Teja has already written in response, COM is a big, and
in some ways dated, subject. To answer your specific questions:
yes, most Web browsers I know for Windows *are* COM-enabled,
Solitaire typically isn't, and I'm not near a Win* machine now
to confirm that Paint is.
Python has good COM abilities. While, to my surprise, I just
realized that I'm unaware of anyone having put together a COM
"explorer" with Python, it would be a straightforward project.
