Using the Intel® Fortran Module Wizard Overview (Windows*)

This topic only applies to Windows* operating systems.

Intel® Fortran provides a wizard to simplify the use of Component Object Model (COM) and Automation (formerly called OLE Automation) objects. The Intel® Fortran Module Wizard generates Standard Fortran modules that simplify calling COM and Automation services from Fortran programs. This Fortran code lets you invoke methods of an Automation object and member functions of a Component Object Model (COM) object.

The following sections describe the use of COM and Automation objects as clients with Intel Fortran:

• Understanding COM and Automation Objects

• The Role of the Module Wizard

• Using the Module Wizard to Generate Code

• Calling the Routines Generated by the Module Wizard

• Getting a Pointer to an Objects Interface

• Additional Resources about COM and Automation
