Erlang Win32com

[Michael Mackus]

Is there a way to access win32com using erlang?

For instance, in python, there's the "win32com" module.

If you don't understand, I need a way to access functions in a windows DLL
from erlang. This is for a bot project I'm doing if you are curious, seems
like it'll get my feet wet with using Erlang.

Hi,

There was old experimental COM binding for Erlang [1]. I think it's
not supported anymore and removed from OTP distribution. I had idea to
run it in old Erlang Win32 node.
I didn't used it in the end - end up writing port in VBScript.

Never seen that one before - interesting.

Is it win32 or COM that you want? Do you just want to access win32 DLL
with appropriate calling conventions and so on (in which case a NIF or
linked-in driver would probably do it, along with a LoadLibrary system
call) or do you actually want to create COM objects and use COM
interfaces and such like?
