Initialization

Initialization

If you are implementing your own server, instead of using the builtin support, your server must call the COM initialization functions (OleInitialize or CoInitialize) before LuaCOM is started. Other initialization task is the implementation and exposition of the COM objects. This task can be greatly simplified using the C/C++ LuaCOM API function luacom_detectAutomation.

If you want to use the builtin support, the only initialization necessary is to call the DetectAutomation API function at the end of the script that implements your objects, passing a table containing methods to register and expose your objects.
