using API

Hello

Do you need VB6 installed on your computer to use API ?

Can any other language (like Java) be used for API ?

Thank you.

Any COM compliant language can be used to access the APIs.

Hi Siggy - Sorry - Please clarify with examples! I know little of such things - only recently forced into javascript, and trying to learn some php to improve my web pages beyond the basic html that I have learned, and it has been a long sime since I used even any BASIC programing skills!!

What exactly is a "COM compliant language" ?? Robert

COM is a Microsoft technology/specification that allows software components to communicate with each other. It stands for Common Object Model. COM compliant languages could include virtually any Object Oriented Language. Some of the more common ones would be Visual Basic, C++, etc. You may have also heard of Microsoft's .NET framework, which is essentially an enhanced version of COM.
