    Are there any tutorials which explain how to use COM within your win32 program? (devcpp).

      Let me show you this neat little trick.
      Your post was
      "Are there any tutorials which explain how to use COM within your win32 program? (devcpp)."

      so we take
      COM
      and we take
      win32
      and
      tutorial

      and we plug them into Google (or your favorite search engine)

      COM win32 tutorial

      Then we press the search button and Presto!!! its magic!!!

      Your answer awaits you.......

        Chill! [:)]. I Tried that. I thought I saw pure win32 lines of code until they slowly turn out to be some MFC implementation in the end. It is either this or the example is too heavily object oriented.

          This forum itself has a search engine - in the upper right corner.
          If you enter "com tutorial" - there are a number of useful posts.

          Keep in mind that Dev-C++ is just an IDE, not a compiler. In most
          cases, asking (or googling) about how to do something "in Dev-C++"
          isn't going to be very productive. Remember, the compiler is GCC,
          a Unix ancestry tool that works in windows by using MinGW.

            How can I get an interface type into my program? Does this mean I have to include special header files etc. For e.g. how can I use the interface for msword document object model? I know I need a pointer to it. But I need the interface type to work with in the 1st place, right?
