Calling COM object from lisp

Calling COM object from lisp

[Peter Lee]

Is it possible ?  If so where can I find a sample of instantiating and using an
object from lisp.

TIA.

I would advice you to use Python and Pymacs for that. Pymacs is an
extension for scripting emacs with Python. win32all is a collection of
Python packages and modules to work with various win32 based
technologies. Pymacs is very easy to work with and makes it a snap to
call Python from lisp.

Example:

Lisp:
Somwhere in .emacs (or another init file)
(pymacs-load "mymodule" "mymodule-") 

In your source.
(mymodule-call-com-object param1 param2)


Python:
In module mymodule.py

from win32com.client import Dispatch
def call_com_object(param1, param2):
    obj = Dispatch('InternetExplorer.Application')
    obj.Navigate('http://www.python.org')
