How do I generate a list of an ActiveX object's events in Visual Basic 6?

By using the TLBINF32.DLL (the one used by Visual Basic's Object Browser), you can obtain a list of the interfaces of our ActiveX objects.

The following example will populate a list box component with the events of our iAngularGaugeX component...

Example Setup

Create a standard Visual Basic EXE project
Add a Reference in your project to "TLBINF32.DLL" located in your Windows System32 directory.
Add an iAngularGaugeX component to your form
Add a standard List Box component to your form
Add a standard Button component to your form

TLI Event List Example
Private Sub Command1_Click() Dim TLIApp As New tli.TLIApplication Dim CoClassInfo As tli.CoClassInfo Dim MemberInfo As tli.MemberInfo Dim InterfaceInfo As tli.InterfaceInfo List1.Clear 'Get Class Info from component named "iAngularGaugeX1" Set CoClassInfo = TLIApp.ClassInfoFromObject(iAngularGaugeX1) 'Get Event Interface Set InterfaceInfo = CoClassInfo.DefaultEventInterface 'Loop through all members of the Event Interface For Each MemberInfo In InterfaceInfo.Members 'Add Name of Event Member to ListBox List1.AddItem MemberInfo.Name Next MemberInfo End Sub

TLI Event List Example

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim TLIApp As New tli.TLIApplication
Dim CoClassInfo As tli.CoClassInfo
Dim MemberInfo As tli.MemberInfo
Dim InterfaceInfo As tli.InterfaceInfo

List1.Clear

'Get Class Info from component named "iAngularGaugeX1"
Set CoClassInfo = TLIApp.ClassInfoFromObject(iAngularGaugeX1)

'Get Event Interface
Set InterfaceInfo = CoClassInfo.DefaultEventInterface

'Loop through all members of the Event Interface
For Each MemberInfo In InterfaceInfo.Members
'Add Name of Event Member to ListBox
List1.AddItem MemberInfo.Name
Next MemberInfo
End Sub
