How to invoke non-dispatched member functions?
I need to invoke a COM server which only partially supports IDispatch. It works when calling from C++, but I wonder how to do the same in Java.
That COM-Server exposes a C-interface which extends C-IDispatch (so JACOB is actually able to find it by IID and expose it as Java-IDispatch), but some of its custom C-member-functions are not exposed as COM-IDs or COM-Names! 😢
A C++ client has no problem with this, as the C++ compiler directly uses the vtable to call those unexposed member functions.
But how can JACOB invoke those unexposed member functions? 🤔
That's really a pity. Are there plans to extend JACOB's functionality in this direction?
Don't ask me, not my project. But I've been preparing some patches, well, rewrites, that I hope will become the next version. Fixing a million memory leaks, for example.
