Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Is there a "DLL Browser"?


Dec 13th, 1999, 01:27 PM
I've been wondering for quite some time, is there a "DLL Browser"?
By DLL Browser, I mean some program which will reports back all functions, classes, and other objects defined in a specified DLL.
And possibly even what kind of arguments they expect.

If this exists, where is it?
If this doesn't exist, why not??
It seems like this should be a computable problem...

If you're thinking about creating your own Web Browser, then if you have Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher installed, you already have a WebBowser control availble. Press CTRL+T and select Mincrosoft Internet Controls from the list. Drop a WebBrowser control onto your form and put this code on Form_Load event:

WebBrowser.Navigate "www.vb-world.net"

rmiller, you can't get the functions... out of a compiled dll. You could try a decompiler, but I don't think you'll succeed.

If it's an ActiveX dll, you can set a reference to the dll and use the object browser to check things out.
If it's a "normal" dll (you have to declare the functions like for API calls) you can use quickview to see exported functions, but you can't see parameters.
