what does releaseComObject() actually do?

[Jonathan Brookins]

I came across this in the Lucee documentation.  Tested it, but it doesn't seem to actually do anything, or at least when I created a component, releaseComObject()ed it, then did a dump it was still around.  Is this supposed to work with components, or other types of com objects?

Thanks!

It's used when you create a 'com' object.

obj = createobject('com', 'some.activex.thing.or.whateva')
obj.dosomething()
releaseComObject(obj)

This is only really relevant on windows, as that's where you're likely to want to use COM objects.

Ah, I was afraid of that.  Thanks for the confirmation, Chris.
