Say you have two assemblies (two dlls). The first contains a class called Base and the second contains a class called Derived which publicly inherits from Base. When I use the tlb files to create C++ classes in Visual Studio 2005, I get Base and Derived classes, but one is not a subclass of the other. There doesn't seem to be any IS-A ...
I currently have a Win32 type library created in Delphi which I need to consume, implement and re-expose via .NET. What are the steps necessary to bring the TLB into Prism so the interface can be implemented? ...
Type libraries generated by TLBEXP can have identifiers that differ by case: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/clr/thread/5003c486-ed3f-4ec8-8398-a1251b0f9e74 I've also noticed that the order that types appear in the exported type library can change from one build to another. Does anyone know of a tool to compare type libr...
When using heat (from Wix 3.0.4805.0) to generate Wix documents off of a typelib that's generated by Visual Studio, I have been getting an error. A window pops up that says: 'heat.exe - Bad Image' The application or DLL c:\path\to\file.tlb is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette. Bu...
I've made a simple C# DLL (that's part of a much larger project) using VS2005. I need to use the DLL in Excel via VBA code so I am using COM Interop on the assembly. I am trying to make the build process automatically generate the necessary TLB file so that I don't need to go to the command line and use regasm after every build. My pr...
I'm trying to build an application that is strongly named. It is referencing a COM interop library that I add via the Add References dialog. It's been a while, but I seem to recall that in older versions of visual studio, there was a project setting for Wrapper Assembly Key File. I can't seem to find it in Visual Studio 2008? ...
I have a .NET dll which has some interfaces\classes which are exposed to com. during the build procedure a .tlb file is generated and this tlb is referenced by some c++ code. As a result the compiler generates a .tlh file for the tlb. When I run the build locally one of the properties in one of the interfaces ends up with a correspond...
I've downloaded a C# Class Library called TreeViewAdv, that I need to use in another project as a COM DLL. It builds successfully (Release, not Debug). Registering the built DLL using "regasm" says "Types registered successfully" Registering with "gacutil" says "Assembly successfully added to cache" In the C# project settings: App...
Hi, Consider me a novice to windows environment and COM programming. I have to automate an application (CANoe) access. CANoe exposes itself as a COM server and provides CANoe.h , CANoe_i.c and CANoe.tlb files. Can anyone specify how to write a C++ client, for accessing the object, functions of the application. Also, please specify ho...
Hi, I am trying to #include an application tlb file in VC++ project. Getting following compilation errors, after #import "CANoe.tlb" in my project source file. - unknown character '0x1' syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'A' missing type specifier int assumed. Note: C++ does not support default-int '{' : missing functio...
I need to have my Delphi program use a new version of a third party DLL. I'd like to be able to use the new version but revert to the old version if I need to. Some of the objects are invisible objects on a form in the app. Others I instantiate at runtime. How do I install the new version of the DLL into Delphi while maintaining the ...
Currently I am using the statement: #import "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\test.tlb" named_guids But I am getting the folder path programatically. i.e., "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727" I have to load test.tlb from this path which resides in a variable say, folderpath. I have to import the tlb programa...
I have been working on converting a assembly of mine to be usable through Delphi. I was able to convert the assembly to a PAS file and call the method in my delphi application. But i ran into a problem where my PAS file is asking for System_Windows_Forms_TLB which i was able to find and add. But then that file uses Accessibility_TLB a...
I've got a snippet of IDL that looks like this: [ object, uuid(...), pointer_default(unique) ] interface IVirtualMachine { /* ... */ } [ object, uuid(...), pointer_default(unique) ] interface IVirtualServer : IUnknown { HRESULT FindVirtualMachine( [in] BSTR configurationName, [out,retval] IVirtualMachine **virtualMa...
I have this vendor-supplied TLB file, which I've used to generate a Ruby proxy class. However, the TLB in question describes 6 interfaces and 3 classes: AcdAutomationServer (I) AcdAutomationServerClass (C) AcdEvent (I) AcdEventClass (C) AcdObject (I) AcdObjectClass (C) IAcdAutomationServer (I) IA...
Hi, I'm running Windows 7 x64, and need to register a type library file (.tlb). I've done this previosuly (on a vista x64 machine) but neglected to take notes as to how I acheived it... There is no regtlib.exe / regtlibv12.exe on the system. I have copied across the regtlibv12.exe from a Windows XP system, however this will "not run"...
I am trying to register a type library programatically from VBA code, using two variants of a technique found using Google (Subs RegisterTypeLibrary and RegisterTypeLibrary2 below). The code below crashes with an access violation on the call to LoadTypeLib / LoadTypeLibEx. What am I doing wrong? In case it's relevant, the type library...
I added 3 optional boolean parameters to a method found within a VB6 DLL. The class that houses it is MultiUse (public), and the method itself is Private. The class implements a specific interface from a TLB, allowing for public calls to this method. After adding the 3 optional parameters on the VB6 side, I modified related C# code so t...
The reason I am asking is I have an ocx that I don't want to register on the build machine but I would still like to build against it. If the tlb route is not the right direction any hints on how to accomplish this would be appreciated. Thanks ...
I am trying to compile a vb6 application and I can't register the ocx files. In order to attempt to compile I have replaced the Object= lines in the .vbp file with Reference= lines to the TLB instead of the OCX. Now when I compile I get the following type of errors. Line 125: Class KimgpLib.KImgp of control KImgp1 was not a loaded cont...
