   
Creating an object browser window is easy when using the Desert
Hill ObjectBrowser control. Just add the control to a form and
add the type libraries in the Form_Load event. The ObjectBrowser
control allows you to add the type library in several different
ways; by ProjId, by a type library file or by a GUID.
Private Sub Form_Load()
' Add a type library by ProgId
ObjectBrowser1.AddLibrary ("DesertHill.ObjectBrowser")
' Add a library by file name
ObjectBrowser1.AddLibrary ("C:\WINNT\System32\stdole2.tlb")
' Add a library by GUID
ObjectBrowser1.AddLibrary ("{FCFB3D2E-A0FA-1068-A738-08002B3371B5}")
End Sub
You don't have to use the Desert Hill ObjectBrowser user interface if you simply
want to access the contents of a library. Just create a Libraries
collection, add the type library and access the data inside.
Dim objLibraries As New ObjectBrowser.Libraries
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim objLibrary As ObjectBrowser.Library
' Add a type library to the collection
Set objLibrary = objLibraries.Add("DesertHill.ObjectBrowser")
' Access data in the library
MsgBox objLibrary.Name & " Version " & objLibrary.Version
End Sub
