Proposals for providing COM support to Keysharp that might not involve re-inventing the wheel:

1. Update the attached ‘COM.ahk’ (very old, by sean) to AHK2 and then to Keysharp syntax. The lib consists mainly of functions with DllCall (no classes), with an example shown below.

COM_CreateObject(CLSID, IID = "", CLSCTX = 5)
{
    DllCall("ole32\CoCreateInstance", "Uint", SubStr(CLSID,1,1)="{" ? COM_GUID4String(CLSID,CLSID) : COM_CLSID4ProgID(CLSID,CLSID), "Uint", 0, "Uint", CLSCTX, "Uint", COM_GUID4String(IID,IID ? IID : IID=0 ? "{00000000-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}" : "{00020400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"), "UintP", ppv)
    Return  ppv
}

2. Implement same functionality in Keysharp using p/invoke to create methods analogous to the functions in COM.ahk.

3. Use NetOffice MIT-licensed libs for MS Office COM. Active - updated 5 days ago. NetOfficeFw
