Where to get COM Automation class definition?
VFP intellisense is a great feature that allow us to get list of object PEM easily. It is helpful especially in COM automation. Beside, VFP also has object browser which we can get rid of PEM, constant, class, enum and etc. But, where to get the class deinifition to initialize COM object for example MS Word (Word.Application), SourceSafe (SourceSafe) and etc?
Without knowing the class definition, Intellisense and object browser is useless becuase we can't even initialize it. I know that is web site such as http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~AutomationObjects~SoftwareEng listed out some popular COM automation class defiition. However, why doesn't VFP provide feature like VB, which able to manipulate COM object directly? At least, VFP should provide a way for us to get know of the class definition that we can follow or drag and drop from object browser.
Am I miss out the feature? Else, I hope this feature would be available soon.
