Presenting a Dll Interface

[DevAll]

I have a requirement where:

I need to allow a user to select a ActiveX Dll.
Having selected it I would like to present a list of public classes.
Having selected a class I would like to present a list of methods from that classs.
The user will then select a method and the name of method would added to another part of the GUI.

I am looking for some help/advice on how I can read the interface of a dll. A bit like the object browser in the VB.IDE.

Microsoft has made a COM dll, tlbinf32.dll, that helps with the enumeration and registration of type libraries.

MSDN has the help file for this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/isapi/gosu.../Q224/3/31.ASP

I also assembled one of the examples programs that enumerates a type lib (see attachment). The only trick for you will be to dig through the registry to find the active type libraries, unless you already have a list of the files you would like to invesigate (then it's super easy).
