What is OLE/COM Object Viewer?

To use the OLE/COM Object Viewer

1- Start the OLE/COM Object Viewer (oleview.exe), which is located in the \Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\bin\x86\ folder.

2- In the Object Classes, Grouped by Component category in the viewer, open the Automation Objects folder to view the registered Automation objects.

3- Select one of the controls. Several tabs appear in the right pane; the interfaces that are implemented by the control are displayed on the Registry tab.

  • If you open the shortcut menu for a control in the left pane and then choose View Type Information, the ITypeInfo Viewer displays a reconstructed .idl or .odl file.

  • If you expand the control node in the left pane, a list of the interfaces in the object is displayed. If you select an interface, its registry entry is displayed in the right pane.

  • If you open the shortcut menu for an interface and then choose View, the OLE/COM Object Viewer displays a dialog box that shows the GUID for the interface and an option to view type library information, if it is available. Selecting View Type Info displays a portion of a reconstructed .idl file that is specific to the interface in the ITypeInfo Viewer.

  • In the ITypeInfo Viewer, you can select an interface member in the tree view to display the accessor method signatures in the right pane.
