Hi
I wrote this tool some time ago, i made it public because it could be also useful for you.
It's a small program, which reads the TypeLib of OLE/COM objects.
It supports interfaces,functions,structures and constants.
If you find mistakes in interfaces,functions, structures... then please report them. I can't say whether all of them are correct. (The tool wasn't tested really well)
Feedback is welcome.

Very good, thanks

Can you add compilerdirectives?

Code: Select all

CompilerIf Defined(IBlaBLa, #PB_Interface) = #False
Interface IBlaBla
  QueryInterface(a.l,b.l)
  AddRef()
  Release()
  BlaBla(blatxt.p-bstr)
EndInterface
CompilerEndIf

to avoid conflicts with existing Interfaces

It looks nice, but all the examples require an atl.dll .. I ran this up against msscript.ocx (resulting file found @ http://www.quadonline.org/msscript.zip ) and it did not provide any atl.dll nor aX.... commands. A quick search on these forums mentioned ATL is for the web browser ... most activex do not need a web browser to run. Do you have any samples on how to use activex controls via your tool w/o needing the atl.dll?

Oh and welcome back, can't wait for the update/fixes to your DX9 code

Small Bug:
Some created Interface a incomplete, the last parameter for result ist
missing.

hi
Sorry for the late late answer...
But at least there is a new version available(just download the file again)
It has many improvements, just try it out.

@Shannara
Sorry, I have no example.
But, I think for msscript.ocx you could use CoCreateInstance(), as it has no graphical surface.

Can you show me one of these Interfaces and if possible how it should look like.

For example here: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=23651
The generated Interface for AutoItX, mostly the last parameter missing. In
the example in the zip file, i have added the parameter and all is running.
