- dynamic instantiation of COM objects registered in the
system registry, via the
luacom_CreateObject
function;
- dynamic access to running COM objects via
luacom_GetObject
;
- COM method calls as normal Lua function calls;
- property access as normal table field access;
- type conversion between OLE Automation types and Lua types;
- object disposal using Lua garbage collection mechanism;
- implementation of COM interfaces and objects using Lua
tables;
- use of COM connection point mechanism for bidirectional
communication and event handling;
- fully compatible with Lua 4;
- use of COM objects without type information.
