    Re: What is DOM, COM, OLE, ATL

    DOM = Document Object Model

    COM = Component Object Model - all Objects in VB6 that are instantiated using the New keyword are COM Objects.

    DCOM = Distributed COM.

    OLE = previous name for COM

    ActiveX = M$ marketing term for COM - generally used to refer to graphical COM objects.

    ATL = A C++ Library for writing COM components.

    COM is an open standard for obtaining in, and out of, process Components. When your code asks for a New COM Object, it is really the OS that delivers the Object to you, and you inject that Object into your program space.

    The neat thing about DCOM is the same thing happens, but the Object you get is actually physically executing on another machine in the network.

    Nobody knows what software they want until after you've delivered what they originally asked for.

    Don't solve problems which don't exist.
