Include Type Library in Project

[CajunCenturion]

How can one include a type library into a VFP 8.0 project so that any objects and classes defined within that type library may be used by the application?

Thanks.

You don't need to do that. It's not a question of using the objects in the type library. The objects are in the COM file or DLL, and are automatically available to your code, provided it can find the relevant file.

Thanks Mike. It turns out that it's not just finding the relevant file because the names of these type COM objects as they appear in the object browser may not be the same as the name required by the CREATEOBJECT function.

To find the correct CREATEOBJECT name, search the registry for the name as it appears in the object browser. Once you find it, then use the associated ProgID value as the parameter to CREATEOBJECT.
