Clsid/guid from .dll or .ocx not registered

[gonzoaz]

I am looking for some code that will get the clsid from a .dll or .ocx. I know I can register it and get it from the registry but I want to get the clsid from the file not the registry. This is so I can check and see if the file is then registered.

Hi gonzoaz,

this is easy!

Make a reference to "TypeLib Information" (tlbinf32.dll).

Dim tlb As TLI.TypeLibInfo

Set tlb = TLI.TypeLibInfoFromFile("MSVBVM60.DLL&quot
Msgbox tlb.Guid ' GUID as string

That's all

bye
