Hi List, I am trying to learn something about the exchange facilities between R and Windows Application with the RDCOMClient package from (http://www.omegahat.org/RDCOMClient/) and I have faced 2 problems: 1. I could not follow the link for the binary version of SWinTypeLibs package on the site, (as it has given me a restricted permission message), but I downloaded it by searching it on google (from http://www.omegahat.org/R/bin/windows/contrib/2.7/) 2. when loading RDCOMClient and then SWinTypeLibs (v 0.5-1) package I get the following error message: library(RDCO...

I am trying to use the Windows COM interface under R 2.0, and have encountered the following difficulties: - the package RDCOMClient installs, loads and works under R 1.9.1, installs under R2.0, but does not load or work under R2.0 - the package SWinTypeLibs does not install or load under either R 1.9.1 or under R2.0 For the moment I am concentrating on the RDCOMClient package as it seems to be the most up-to-date one. My questions are: - has anybody else had this problem (and found a solution) - is this something that I should be able to easily f...

Dear list member, I am using the packages RDCOMClient and SWinTypeLibs and try to import a COM object (created in Delphi) in R that is of type 'early binding' instead of late 'late binding'. Is there a possibility to do this in R? Currently, the following returns an error message: l1 = LoadTypeLib("c:\\Programme\\INVESCO\\QaCalendar\\Calendar.dl...

...used as arguments in calls from the RDCOMClient package, and can be used to handle events from COM objects such as ActiveX controls, Excel. SWinRegistry - facilities for accessing the Windows registry and its contents. One can read and write values, create keys, and navigate the hierarchy. SWinTypeLibs - R interface to read Windows type libraries describing COM objects, C routines, etc. This allows us to "compile" methods for accessing COM objects from R more efficiently and with better local error-handling. The packages are reasonably stable but could benefit from people using...

Hello all Can R be used as a COM client (rather than as a COM server)? The following (Splus) code shows the sort of thing I'd like to do: pMIM <- create.ole.object("mim31.Server") NoOutputLines <- call.ole.method(pMIM, "SendCmdLine", "show w") for (i in 1:NoOutputLines) show(call.ole.method(pMIM, "GetOutputLine")) release.ole.object(pMIM)
