powerbuilder com object vs pocketbuilder .... object
Our powerbuilder application is sending information to a feeding machine by calling a com object. Our program now runs on a mobile device. The software is written with pocketbuilder 2.04. Now we would also like to have the connection with this feeding machine. I talked to the supplier of the feeding machine. He told me that the com object was written in Visual studio C. The simplest solution for them would be to create a .Net object. Is this the way to go? Thanks Eric Up on CodeXChange we have a handful of "adapter" layers (sometimes called "shims&quo...

Calling a COM object from a PowerBuilder object's sript??

Any examples or direction to examples would be appreciated. Thanks Chris hi, I'v tested it yet, i couldn't use it with the global/local external functions declarations method.

Powerbuilder 9, com object
Just wondering, Powerbuilder 9 COM object can be called from .net frame work? We would like to call powerbuilder-9 generated COM object from ASP.net and VB.net Sure.

Tip Thread
Hi all, Just a few more tips to hopefully help my fellow developers save some valuable development time by avoiding some of the issues I've suffered through: OLE Automation Server Object Issues: As I've mentioned before in the Tip Thread - Creating COM Objects (Restatement), using OLE Automation Server (simply "Automation Server" in 7.0) is a great alternative to using the COM generator since with OLE Automation Server objects you be able to create COM objects from any PB NVO that contains non-private references to any PB specific datatypes, like PB NVO's, u...

Calling Functions in a C++ COM object from Powerbuilder
This is a question posed by Pepsi any help would be greatly appreciated. Rob Baker Powersoft Custom Support We have a COM object coded in C++ which supports some common functions among the Pepsi applications, such as security, single signon and exception handling. Because the number of funcitons we have to support in this object, it is partitioned to support mutiple interfaces. In the object, only the primary interface supports the IDispatch interface because of the current COM limitation, and all the rest of the interfaces only support the IUnknown interface. We now have...
