Build your own Object Browser

Sometimes people ask – how to get a list of methods or events of some ActiveX DLL or control, or just any COM library. VB6 (and perhaps earlier versions) was shipped with TLBINF32.DLL - TypeLib Information Object Library, which you can use in Access or any other VBA host. And MSDN article Visual Basic: Inspect COM Components Using the TypeLib Information Object Library helps to understand basics of this library usage, you can also download Help Files for Tlbinf32.dll.

  1. Can you recommend a typelib browser for those of us who don't have VB6?
