win32ole and ole_methods

[Daniel Berger]

Hi,

This question falls into the, "I'm just curious as to why this is"
category. I noticed that the WIN32OLE#ole_methods (and
ole_func_methods, etc) return an array of WIN32OLE_METHOD objects.

Since I just want a list of methods, why not just return an array of
strings? If we must return WIN32OLE_METHOD objects, can the '<=>'
operator be defined so that I can sort them?

Regards,

Dan

operator be defined so that I can sort them?

Because in order to get the other information about the methods.
For example, you can get only the name of the method but also
argument information of the method.

oleobj.ole_methods.each do |m|
puts m.name
p m.params
end

You can the '<=>' method as following:

class WIN32OLE_METHOD
define <=>(other)
name <=> other.name
end
end

I welcom better idea, or better solution about this.

That seems a little overkill, why not just some_array.sort { |a, b|
a.name <=> b.name }

well, but why should'nt it have a reasomnable default for the sort
routine? I'm for defining <=>, for what my opinion counts

Yes, you are right. Or more simply, some_array.sort_by{|a| a.name}.

If I can define the reasonable "<=>" method and it should have
the "<=>" method, then I am going to implement it.
So, I have a question.

Which is the reasonable WIN32OLE_METHOD#<=>,
method1.name <=> method2.name
or
method1.dispid <=> method2.dispid?

Is the former reasonable?
