A rudimentary disphelper library "approach" is working OK, I succeeded to create a connection to SQL Server through ADODB, too, which is rather cool, since I've been looking for this functionality for too long.
I re-checked Pablo's pharo-com package and it is rather comprehensive - it successfully creates COM servers and more. However, when trying to invoke writing to COM server properties, as in: wordObj propertyNamed: 'Visible' put: true. the call fails with: Primitive failed: primitive #integerAt:size:signed: in ExternalAddress Problematic method uses a primitive <primitive: 'primitiveFFIIntegerAt' module:'SqueakFFIPrims'> which probably doesn't exist. Does anybody know about the purpose/intent and the history of this primitive in 'SqueakFFIPrims'? I think it would be a pitty that we leave Pablo's work unfinished. -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
