COM with Ruby

I know about Win32Ole for accessing COM objects, but what about
writing COM objects with Ruby? I'm looking to write an addin for
Outlook.

Thanks!

Wow. That sounds pretty involved. Wouldn't you have to generate a COM DLL from the ruby source?

Shouldn't. At least I hope not. Python has a library that allows
Python classes to be COM classes as well. I'm hoping that there is
something like that available :slight_smile:

Take a look at the SpamBayes Outlook Addin for an example of Python as
a COM object.

Looks like a good start. I might have to extend it a bit to be able
to implement a specific interface.

Thanks!
