# The code to access or create a component
# The component-specific runtime libraries.
The wizard allows Eiffel developers with little COM knowledge to develop and reuse COM components. The design of the generated code follows the Eiffel standards and will look familiar to experienced Eiffel users. The only prerequisite to use the EiffelCOM wizard is an understanding of the '''Interface Definition Language'''. '''IDL''' describes a component. Compilers can generate '''Type Libraries''' from IDL files. Tools that need information on a given component, such as the EiffelCOM wizard, Visual Basic, etc. will analyze the Type Libraries. The IDL syntax is very close to C so should be easy to learn for developers that are familiar with this language.

The IDL syntax is very close to C so should be easy to learn for developers that are familiar with this language.
The wizard generates code from a Type Library and additional information given by the user. The generated code consists of Eiffel classes, C/C++ files, and library files. The wizard automatically produces library files from generated C and C++ code. You do not need to modify generated C/C++ code to build your EiffelCOM system.
{{note|The '''EiffelCOM Wizard''' is delivered with EiffelStudio, but it is a '''standalone tool''' (i. e., not part of the EiffelStudio IDE). You can find the wizard by following the directory path: ''$ISE_EIFFEL\wizards\com''. The executable file ''com_wizard_launcher.exe'' will launch the GUI version of the wizard. The executable file ''com_wizard.exe'' is a command line version of the wizard described [[Wizards: Command Line Options|here]].}}
