GOAL:
What is the COM
FIX:
The COM is the Microsoft Component Object Model. This model defines a standard for designing and implementing objects that are accessible through properties, methods, and events. Progress relies on this standard to provide support for Automation objects and ActiveX controls.
A COM object is an encapsulated Windows application object that conforms to the Microsoft Component Object Model (COM). COM object provides reusable functionality for an application, by providing reusable components for use within an application or by exposing the application's functionality.
Progress applications can access COM objects through Progress support for Automation objects and ActiveX controls.
This feature was introduced in the 4GL since V8.2A.
