Fist one OCX file can contain multiple controls.

The answer is the registry.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\CLSID\{......}\Inprocsvr32
equals the name of the OCX.

Dear Mirkwood,
 I would like to print the path of an .OCX file.
How is it possible?
How to use RegQueryValue() to get the path of mscal.ocx in VB?
Pl help me out

 

by: MirkwoodPosted on 1998-12-10 at 00:27:48ID: 1488777

Either query this key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{8E27C92B-1264-101C-8A2F-040224009C02}\InprocServer32

or query this key first
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MSCAL.Calendar\CLSID
and store this value if a
and then query

"HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\" & foundclsid & "\InprocServer32"

 

by: KnowledgeSeekerPosted on 1998-12-10 at 01:26:39ID: 1488778

Hi Mirkwood,
Yes that is fine.
Thank you very much.
But if given any OCX file name,(say xxx.OCX)
how do u get the corresponding CLSID programatically,
if u know only the file name only??
I dont want to manually look in the regedit.exe and get the clsid.
i have incresed the points also.
plese help me.

 

by: MirkwoodPosted on 1998-12-10 at 02:07:02ID: 1488779

The only possibility is to enumerate the keys under
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\
and put them in a collection or variant array
Then do a
for each clsid in allclsid
    Querykey  "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\" & clsid & "InProcServer32"
    if (procserver = ocxtofind) then
       'do your stuff    
    end if
next

 

by: KnowledgeSeekerPosted on 1998-12-10 at 17:23:23ID: 1488780

Dear MirkWood,
   That idea is very good.
But i don't how to enumarate all the keys under HKEYS_CLASSE_ROOT\CLSID,
using RegEnumVal().I don't know exactly what parameters i have to pass to it,
so that i can enumarate all the keys under it, inside a loop.
Can u please help me with the code for that also.
I would be greatful if you can help me with tha code for getting the keys and storing
them in a collection.
Thank you very much.
Waiting for your reply.
