What simple methods are there to wrap a c++ based object model with a COM interface
- by Rich
I have a pre-existing c++ object model which represents the business layer tier of an application. I want to be able to expose the object model to applications written in other languages i.e vbscript, VB, javascript etc. I believe the best way of doing this is to wrap the business objects with a COM layer.
What fast and effective methods are there for doing this. Any advice, links to practical "How to" documentation would be very much appreciated.
Because I'm starting a bounty on this , here's a few extra guidelines for potential bounty hunters :-
1)I've decided on an ATL approach
2)I'm now specifically looking for links to really good "how to and quickly" documentation on wrapping a pre-existing c++ object model to make it useable by a scripting language like javascript
3) Something with small working examples showing me what code needs to be added to what files, e.g what goes into the cpp , idl and hpp/h etc. It' must include an example I can compile test and change to get a better understanding.
