thanks for the info, I finally got the book that you suggested and looks very interesting.<br />
<br />
I have also found the following website <a href="http://www.cascadia.ctc.edu/facultyweb/instructors/mpanitz/COM_Tutorial/COMClientInC.html" rel="ugc">http://www.cascadia.ctc.edu/facultyweb/instructors/mpanitz/COM_Tutorial/COMClientInC.html</a><br />
<br />
it explains in very details what I am trying to do.<br />

Hi,<br />
I am writing a program in C (can not use anything else due to limitations of the application) and I have to make calls to a COM library, but I can't a find a way to link these programs or to make a call from the C program to the COM library.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know how to do it?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
<br />

Linking a C program with a COM (component object model) library

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
