I was designing a COM in-process server. Previously it works with C++ client and works fine. But now some other guys have ideas to expand the coverage to VB and JScript clients. I am short of knowledge of VB and Jscript, actually...
My questions are,
A. Could VB client and JScript use TLB file?
B. If the input parameter or return value contains non-automation compatible data types, could VB client and JScipt client use them?
Thank you!
Well... This is neither a VB forum nor a JScript forum. Of course the TLB file question is ponderous when you consider that JScript is an interpretted language. I doubt you can use it with a VB program, but I do not know a whole lot about trying to do as much. I am not fully following your second scenario. VB and JScript natively use their own internal data typing that is not necessarily language independant.
Thanks. So bad to see we can not use some customized data type. In order to make parameter list shorted, I wrap all parameters of some function into a single struct, and define the struct also into IDL file, along with the functions using its as input parameter type for C++ consumer before.
One point I disagree is Visual Basic looks like support importing TLB file when I did some search, but I have not found any information about whether script like J/VBscript could support TLB file.
