_Added in 1.9.4_ *$com(name/N)* Returns name if connection is open, or name of Nth connection. N = 0 returns number of open connections. *Parameters* name/N - The connection name or the Nth N'th connection. *Properties* .progid - The object name. .result - The value returned by the COM object member after the call .error - The error code if any. .errortext - The error text if any. .argerr - TODO .dispatch - [[$true]] if this is a dispatch pointer. .unknown - [[$true]] if this is a unknown pointer. *$com(name/N,varname)* Returns value of the specified variable name. *Parameters* name/N - The connection name or the Nth N'th connection. varname - Name of the referenced variable. *$com(name,member,method,type1,value1,...,typeN,valueN)* This calls a member of an open COM connection with the specified method and parameters. Returns: 1 = ok, 0 = fail. *Parameters* name - Connection name. member - Member name. method - Combination of the following values added together: <pre> 1 = DISPATCH_METHOD 2 = DISPATCH_PROPERTYGET 4 = DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUT 8 = DISPATCH_PROPERTYPUTREF </pre> type - The variable type, can be: i1, i2, i4, ui1, ui2, ui4, int, uint, r4, r8, cy, date, decimal, bool, bstr, variant, dispatch, unknown, error. <pre> VB equivalents are: boolean, byte, currency, date, double, integer, long, single, string, variant. To make a variable by reference, use * in the type name, eg. i1* To assign a name to a variable for later reference after a call, append it to the type, eg. i1* varname When using a variant you must also specify the variable type after it, eg. variant bool. </pre> value - The value assigned to the variable type.
