Everything as a COM object

Post by err_24546 »

Does anyone know if there is any wrapper or similar tool that allows using Everything as a COM object? I understand it is an outdated technology, but since it is the only possible option to obtain search results in a script for Directory Opus (which uses Active Scripting), without resorting to temporary files and thus avoiding that bottleneck.

You can use the SDK using "any" of the supported scripting languages.

Or follow the example of EverythingDopus - A utility to integrate Everything with Directory Opus on the Directory Opus forum.

Hi. I think that utility uses temporary files (similar to es.exe).
I was referring to something similar to the Visual Basic example, but to be used with Active Scripting (e.g. with ActiveX).
Since I don't have the knowledge to create something like that, I thought maybe someone had already done it, but I guess not?

I don't have a COM interface for Everything.

Everything supports WM_COPYDATA for IPC.
