Trying to guess around ActiveX=COM Components

Reply Quote

Many available ActiveX=COM Components, which can be used to improve the functionalities from inside VBScripts, come with few or (almost) no help/tutorials/examples/samples how to use them... I found myself very frustated when I get an apparently good ActiveX=COM Component, but I cannot use it because I cannot guess the syntax and sequence of called functions/methods/proprieties...

My question is - Is there any "tip"/"trick" to "dissect" the ActiveX=COM files (DLL, OCX, TLB, EXE)?

By now, the best I could find is "DesertHill ObjectScope"...

What do you know and recommend to get around this situation?

Thanks.

Best regards.

Hi asgarcymed,

In the past, I've used TLViewer (http://www.tlviewer.org/tlviewer/), and it works pretty well.

Regards,

Bill
