Get the ActiveX version

[neodatatype]

Someone know how to retrieve the version of the ocx/dll included into the exe at runtime?

I'd like to have a window with the infos about the components actually used by the program.

I know I can get the file version via API, but for a ActiveX I don't know the right location of the used file.

See you!

Did you ever figure this out? I am looking to do the same thing. I want to know how to programatically get the version number of an ActiveX EXE so I can display it in a Help/About dialog box.
