Windows COM objects accessability

[jicman]

Greetings!

This has been brought up many times before, but I don't think we've
come up with a solution, yet.  Well, I haven't been around in a
while, because of lack of time and lots of work.  But I am trying to
be use some COM objects and I want to use D instead of JSCript.
Here is a JSCript sample of what I want to translate:

function GetTextArt(file)
{
  var appRef = w.CreateObject("Illustrator.Application.3");
  docRef = appRef.Open(file);
  //w.Echo(appRef.Documents.Count);
  w.Echo("Found " + docRef.TextFrames.Count + " Text Frames...
Extracting them...");

  var phrases = new Array();
  // Prepare file...
  if (docRef.TextFrames.Count == 0)
  {
    w.Echo("No phrase found...");
    phrases.push("");
  }
  else
  {
    numberOfWords = 0
    tf = new Enumerator(docRef.TextFrames);
    for (; !tf.atEnd(); tf.moveNext())
    {
      try
      {
        textArt = tf.item();
      }
      catch (e)
      {
        docRef.Close(aiDoNotSaveChanges);
        return (new Array());
      }
      try
      {
        textArtRange = textArt.TextRange;
      }
      catch (e)
      {
        docRef.Close(aiDoNotSaveChanges);
        return (new Array());
      }
      phrases.push(textArt.Contents);
      w.Echo(textArt.Contents);
      numberOfWords += textArt.Words.Count;
    }
    w.Echo("There are " + numberOfWords + " words in the document.");
  }
  docRef.Close(aiDoNotSaveChanges);
  //appRef.Quit();
  return phrases;
}

So, the question is, has anyone being able to access Windows COM
objects?  Any quick sample will do.

thanks,
