''This could be very handy in cases you need to wait for some COM-related action to happen.''

I suggest either:

''This could be very handy when you need to wait for some COM-related action to happen.''

or

''This could be very handy in case you need to wait for some COM-related action to happen.''

Existing:

''More script examples using COM Event functions can be found in the tests directory in the AutoIt 3.1.1.xx beta ZIP distribution file, downloadable from''

AutoIt 3.1.1.xx is ancient, and the link takes one to http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoit/COM/

So I suggest:

''More script examples using COM Event functions can be found at''

Existing:

''AutoIt uses it's own variable scheme,''

It's is short for it is: not what is intended here.

I suggest:

''AutoIt uses its own variable scheme,''

Existing:

''need to be converted into AutoIt variables, thus loosing the reference to the original memory space''

I suggest:

''need to be converted into AutoIt variables, thus losing the reference to the original memory space''

Existing (in code example):

''; to be checked to know if com error occurs.''

I suggest:

''; to be checked to know if COM error occurs.''

Existing:

''You can have as many COM Error Event Handlers.''

I suggest:

''You can have as many COM Error event handlers as you like.''

Existing:

''a lot of information to use this object in an AutoIt script''

I suggest:

''a lot of information about this object that can be useful in an AutoIt script''

Existing:

''In the left column you see all COM Interfaces that have been defined for this object''

I suggest:

''In the left-hand pane you see all the COM Interfaces that have been defined for this object''

Existing:

''The interfaces in the left column are used for several ways of interacting with the object.''

I suggest:

''The interfaces in the left-hand pane provide various ways of interacting with the object.''

Existing:

''If it does not exist, you can't use the object in an AutoIt script.''

I suggest, for clarity:

''If there is no IDispatch interface for an object, you can't use the object in an AutoIt script.''

Existing:

''you did not have registered the iviewers.dll file''

I suggest:

''you failed to register the iviewers.dll file -- see above.''

Existing:

''The ""ITypeInfo Viewer"" window does only show the information that is provided with the object.''

Does the author mean:

''The ""ITypeInfo Viewer"" window shows all the information that has been provided for the object; it may not be complete.''

Existing:

''Just click an item in the left column,''

I suggest:

''Just click an item in the left-hand pane,''

Existing:

''These terms are commonly mixed up with COM, but have a different meaning''

I suggest:

''These terms are commonly mixed up with COM, but have a different meanings''

Existing:

''In his first version, OLE was an extended''

I suggest:

''In its first version, OLE was an extended''
