Ruby and COM(ActiveX)

[D'Andrew Thompson]

Does anyone know if there is a COM component for Ruby offering an
interface to COM (ActiveX) controls?

Something in the vein of http://www.python.org/windows/win32com/

Thanks, dave

If you install ruby using the windows installer it should already be=20
installed.

ex:

require 'win32ole'
excel =3D WIN32OLE.new('Excel.Application')
excel.visible =3D TRUE
workbook =3D excel.Workbooks.Add();
worksheet =3D workbook.Worksheets(1);
worksheet.Range('A11').value =3D ['North','South','East','West'];


Documentation is here: http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/win32ole/rdoc/

Its called Win32OLE and it is part of the standard windows distribution
(One Click Installer). See
http://www.rubycentral.com/book/lib_windows.html for some documentation
on it.
