How can I browse the classes and methods of an ActiveX DLL?


Basically, what I want to is be able to explore an ActiveX DLL. I normally fire up VB 6, add the DLL to the "References" of the project, and use Object Explorer.

However, in this particular machine I can't install VB / VS.
I'm sure there's a tool out there that does this. Does anyone know of one?

Thanks


Solution

  • Is it possible to download the component from that machine and examine it locally in Visual Studio? (That'd be my first suggestion.) (And BTW, the .NET versions of Visual Studio also feature a VB6-like Object Explorer which works nicely for this.)

    Alternatively, and it's not free, but you might try ActiveXplorer. (I haven't tried this, but it looks promising.) (Discontinued)
