GetActiveOleObject

Declaration

function GetActiveOleObject(const ClassName: string): IDispatch;

Example

procedure OnStartMapEvent(var Value:Variant);
begin
  GLOBAL1 := GetActiveOleObject(<guidornameofcomlibrary>);
end;

Description

GetActiveOleObject is not commonly used. For it to work you need to be sure that the COM library you are accessing is already available and instantiated. It is easier to instantiate your own copy of the library using CreateOleObject.
