COM is the foundation technology for Microsoft's OLE (compound documents) and ActiveX (Internet-enabled components) technologies, as well as other technologies. COM objects can be created with a variety of programming languages. Object-oriented languages, such as C++, provide programming mechanisms that simplify the implementation of COM objects. These objects can be within a single process, in other processes, or on remote machines. COM is a programming model and a set of APIs, and does not include a dedicated user interface.</P> <H1>Component Configuration</H1> <P>This component has no configuration requirements.</P> <H1>Special Notes</H1> <P>COM is designed primarily for C++ and Microsoft Visual Basic developers. COM runs on a wide variety of operating systems. </P> <H1>For More Information</H1> <P>For more information on COM, please visit this <A HREF="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?URL=/library/psdk/com/comportal_3qn9.htm">Microsoft Web site</A>. </P> </BODY> </HTML> OLEDLG1.0OLE Dialog APIs2000 Microsoft Corp.Microsoft Corp.rojacobsrojacobs7/2/20017/3/2001FileGDI32.dllFileKERNEL32.dllFileUSER32.dllFileADVAPI32.dllFileole32.dllFileMSVCRT.dllFileCOMCTL32.DLLFileSHELL32.DLLFileCOMDLG32.DLL{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}%11%oledlg.dll0
