COM dll interrogation

[SDavies]

Hi everyone,

I need to automate interrogation of COM dlls. What I need is to be able to write to an ini file the ProgID of the dll the names of any methods and the type and names of any variables that are associated with them. I can read and write to ini files I just don't know how to get the information to write. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to do this?

Thanks.

TLBINF32.DLL will be a good tool for you. See "Project" + "References..." and "TypeLib Information" there.

Thanks Vi2. I've looked at that dll and it appears to have the methods to do what I want. Cheers

Hi

Sorry to intrude on this thread in this manner, but have any of you used the LKUPTBL.dll during com development? More specifically, have you used it whilst developing on W2K or XP rather than NT ?

Cheers

Sorry I've never used that dll before and I also only currently develop for NT (my XP machine won't arrive until next year

Hi

Thanks for the reply - this one is really annoying me. I have 3 PC's at the office - a naff very slow NT PC, a very ordinary W2K PC for compiling releases on and a lightening fast XP PC. Can only develop on the smegging NT though!!!! All I use the XP for is email!!!!!

I really don't want to have to resort to installing NT4 on the fast PC. That would be a crime, surely!

Cheers

p.s. does anyone know the MS email or phone no. from the uk for support on such matters? Ok, now I'm being lazy - give me a break!
