COM objects

COM (Component Object Model) objects are reusable software components that allow different programs to share and interact with functionality seamlessly. Think of them as building blocks or modules that can be developed independently and then connected to work together, regardless of programming language or platform. This approach enables software to be more modular, flexible, and easier to update. COM manages how these components communicate, ensuring compatibility and stability, making it easier for developers to create complex applications by combining existing parts efficiently.
