What are the required flags for tlibimp.exe to properly mimic choosing 'Component -> Import ActiveX Control -> Install' in the Borland C++ Builder 5 IDE? I currently pass tlibimp an ocx and -L-, but there is a loss in funcionality when compared with results of importing it manually.

A:
The command line depends on what the IDE is attempting..for example install a component as active x.
-A TypeLibrary file suffix (defaults to '_TLB', -A- : no suffix) -D Output directory
-F TypeLibrary Output filename (extension ignored)
-N C++ namespace name -X OCX Wrappers Output filename (extension ignored - C++ only)
Switches: - (defaults are shown below)
-C- Generate C++ import file
-E+ Generate wrapper class for dispinterfaces (C++ only)
-G+ Expose namespace with 'using' statement
-H+ Generate IDE component wrappers for ActiveX Controls
-J- Generate CORBA IDL source file
-K- Generate Pascal CORBA Stubs and Skeletons
-L- Generate IDE component wrappers for OLE Servers
-O+ Generate CoClass Creator wrappers
-P+ Generate Pascal import file
-Q+ Generate 'Register' function for IDE components wrappers
-R+ Generate files for dependent typelibraries
-S+ Map HRESULT stdcall to safecall on dual interfaces (Delphi only)
-T- Map HRESULT stdcall to safecall on all interfaces (Delphi only)
-V- Generate Event wrappers for Server (C++ only)
-W+ Warnings in import file
-Yh Ignore the [Hidden] flag when importing
-Yr Ignore the [Restricted] flag when importing
-Yp Ignore the [PreDeclID] flag when importing
-Ya Combined -Yh -Yr -Yp

It turns out that functionality loss was due to the fact that the ocx file I was importing was not registered. The projects that used this activeX control still compiled without a problem, but were still flawed. Registering the ocx with regsvr32 solved the problem.

I had the same trouble with tlibImp with Delphi 7, the COM object needs to be register so that the generation will work.
