How to get VC6 to generate .tlb

[roujesky]

I have an application which is a COM Server. A client wants to write a Delphi app to use my COM Server. He said it would be easier for him if I generated a .TLB file. What are the options I set so I can make VC6 generate a .TLB file.

thanx

I think that the only way to obtain a tlb is to add to the project an odl file.

This file is then compiled and its output is a tlb.

if you do it via standard ATL COM wizard - all will be generated automatically, or you may use mktyplib.exe to produce tlb from idl-file

Thanx, I think you are right from what I read. My next question is How do I create a .odl file considering my project already exists?

Quite a bit difficult to explain how to build an ODL file...

I send you an example, to give you tips for consulting the MSDN
