ActiveX object inspector

#1 Post by unixkd »

Hi all

I need Activex object inspector, like DC_Arrayview(), that I can use to analyze properties and methods exposed by the object. For Example I want to inspect the object created like:

oFileSys := CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Thanks.

Joe

I had this same problem when I was working with CodeJock classes while developing the XCodeJock interface.

DC_ArrayView() and DC_InspectObject() will display the properties and methods of an Automation Object if there is a .DEF file available. The function DC_DefDir() is used to assign the directory that contains your .DEF files.

A .DEF file is a text file that names the properties and methods of an Active X class.

Look at some of the .DEF files in \exp19\XCodeJock\ClassDef.

I had to create these files myself. I wrote a program that converted the Wrapper .PRG files created by JazzAge's Active X wizard. If you can find a .COM inspector that can write everything to a file, then I can help you by writing a conversion utility that makes a .DEF file.
The eXpress train is coming - and it has more cars.
