Can I get .tlb or .odl file of my ActiveX DLL project?

[Andrew R.]

Thank you.

You can get the Tlb file selecting "remote component" from project->properties->Component and compiling the project

Special thanks to Lothar "the Great" Haensler, Tom Archer, Chris Eastwood, TCartwright, Bruno Paris, Dr_Micahel
and all the other wonderful people who made and make Codeguru a great place.
Come back soon, you Gurus.

Use the Ole View's "View type lib" Menu command to point to the DLL and then obtain its corresponding IDL file. (I dont know how you can get corresponding ODL file but I feel it shouldnt matter to you,isnt it?)
You can then use MIDL compiler to get its correspondinh .TLB file.
However a VB based DLL can be used at almost all places where you might require a .TLB file.
You can even use it with "#import" satement in VC++.
