What is that?

[Kiron]

Hi, first i need to know where are the classID come from?
In the registry under HKEY_CLASS_ROOT\CLSID there is a huge list of Class IDs that look like this: {0FF3E9B2-433D-11D2-B31A-00A0C9B135DB}.
I like to know what program generate them and if i can generate one in VB6?


The secound this I like to know is how can i add tabs to the property-sheet of the windows explorer?
when you press with your right mouse button on a file and select the property option the explorer open a property-sheet, now if you open a MS-Word property then you can see another tabs. I like to know how can i add thos tabs with VB6?

Thank you very much for reading all this and i thank you more if you be kind enough to answer my questions.

Thank you,
Kiron

The Big number is a GUID which stands for Globaly Unique Identifier it's microsoft's way of locating a control (or Windowclass if you don't use VB) it's constucted using your computers serial number and the millisecond the control was compiled so it's impossible to get 2 the same so by putting the GUID in your HTML IE can find the control you've asked for, I don't know how to get at them, I knowe there in the registry but not much else. VB creates one when you compile a user control and if you use VB to create your werb page you'll never need them.(That's a good Idea, put the controll you want on a DHTML APP and look up the class ID in the HTML it generates)

Hope this helps

to get the class ID other than

put the control you want on a DHTML APP and look up the class ID in the HTML it generates

is to do a search in the Registry (Ctrl-F) for the ActiveX EXE, DLL or OCX that you compiled in VB. This will find the Key Name (CLSID) and you can put this directly in your HTML page's Object Tag.

A registry entry is created when you make an ActiveX Control (User Control - ocx), ActiveX DLL or ActiveX Exe in VB. But be very careful when you are playing around with the Registry. You can really screw up your PC if you don't know what you're doing.

About your second question, I have no clue!

All the best.
