At this point, I feel comfortable with Delphi, and relatively comfortable with RAD Studio, but I have zero experience with WMI and COM.<BR/><BR/>My whole point about newbie friendly tutorial, is that when I was learning C#/.NET, I could use MSDN, and find tutorials that were designed to teach me on my version of Visual Studio, in the current version of C#. <BR/><BR/>When I was attempting to learn COM and WMI for Delphi, all I could find were C++ and VB tutorials, and Delphi code examples. I figured I'd attempt to pick apart the Delphi examples, and I have mostly worked out what the different objects do. But when I ran into issues, I have no idea if its because it's for an different version of COM or WMI, is there something in my project that I didn't setup properly, or what.<BR/><BR/>Basically I ran into issues trying to reverse engineer other peoples code.Branden Tangahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16583314183612055492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6213675832373085044.post-41401758688419660322008-07-18T11:39:00.000-07:002008-07-18T11:39:00.000-07:00The problem is not Delphi. It looks you don't know enough about COM and WMI development, while trying to accomplish it in a language new to you. COM is not a friendly framework.<BR/><BR/>Those are not Delphi topics, they are broader Windows programming topics - difficult to find a "newbie, friendly tutorial" for such topics.<BR/><BR/>Often you'd need to get a C example, and translate it into the language of your choice - even using MSDN.LDShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04633789460476801953noreply@blogger.com
