Note:

As of ColdFusion (2021 release), CORBA has been removed. You can no longer use CORBA-related features, functions, and tags.

Description

The CreateObject function can create a Component Object Model (COM) object. To create a COM object, provide the following information:

  • The object's program ID or filename
  • The methods and properties available to the object through the IDispatch interface

  • The arguments and return types of the object's methods
    For most objects, you can get this information from the OLEView utility.

    On UNIX, this function does not support COM objects.

Returns

A COM object.

Function syntax

CreateObject(type, class, context, serverName)
