COM is just another way to expose an API, which is object-oriented and is also intended to cooperate between languages (e.g. with COM ou can access C++ code, C# code (any .NET), ...) and even across computers.

Have you even tried Googling it, or checking Wikipedia? It's not like you're asking us for a opinion on which software is better for a certain task or something like that.

I ofcourse know the definition
the point is that API, COM, IDE are more or less the same thing!!! (unless I get it wrong)
and since they are more or less the same thing, why do we need 3 definitions?
WIN or LEARN.
and IDE is not anything like an API or COM. I think we have a good idea of the meaning of your posts, your a f'n idiot and you want to be spoonfed
and there is a whole bunch of articles explaining API and IDE differences, which proves you're a fcktard who doesnt know a sht
and you're a f'kin son of a beech who should get lost of my threads and go die
and you're a stupid ashole whose posts are literally a pile of sht, like your fkin head's content
Integrated development environment
This is the tool that programmers use to write programs. (Think Notepad++ on steroids.) It usually has lots of features. Often, one of the features is that it helps you (the programmer) use an API, by providing tips/hints about an API that you're using.
Application programming interface
This is a specification that lets two or more programs talk to each other. So if you write a program that uses a different program, then you're using an API.
In a sense, ahk libraries can be API's. You write a program (your script) that communicates with another program (the library).
You can also create your own API, that other programs can use.
Component Object Model
This is an API for API's. (I'll just get this over with now: "API-CEPTION!!!")
azure, it wouldn't hurt if you at least tried a little harder. You could have gotten all of this by reading the articles.
after reading my second azure thread, i've known what to expect from this moron. maybe we should follow all his threads and just post "google.com" as every respone
1.the point is that API, COM, IDE are more or less the same thing!!!
2.(unless I get it wrong)
1 is wrong
2 is right
and there is a whole bunch of articles explaining API and IDE differences, which proves you're a fcktard who doesnt know a sht

Shame on you.
You've got no reason to insult him - but if you, then fix your damn typos.
You know to firstly google for the stuffs you need and if you still didnt understand it, then you should post it else the users don't know that.
But your topic starting post doesn't contain any detailed infos about what you've done so far, what you think what it is or what you exactly your problems are.
You haven't go through any (mature) progess, as it seems - with your >1K posts.
