      HI and welcome.
      You can make COM servers and clients with Active Qt
      http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/activeqt-index.html

      Its not really clear what you are trying to do
      "idl" often used in RPC calls. ?
      http://stackoverflow.com/questions/670630/what-is-idl

      Maybe you can say what project does so U can get better help :) ?

        i have a device that connect's to my computer, and the only way to extract data is using idl file that came with the device.
        the problem is compiling the project because i didn't really understand how to use the activeQt,

            there are, but they are only using vs2005, so it a bit difficult to fugure out a way to move to qt

              well normally it would be running tools on the idl

              http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/activeqt-index.html
              and
              http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/activeqt-container.html

              (Compile the IDL into a type library using the MIDL tool (part of the compiler installation)

              i have no idea what to use with mingw
