Locating COM object information on your system

You can view the COM objects provided with any Automation Server or ActiveX control that is installed on your system by using the OpenEdge COM Object Viewer. This tool parses the Type Library installed with a selected Automation Server or ActiveX control to provide three lists:
*Automation objects that are createable (usable in the CREATE Automation Object statement) or ActiveX controls that are selectable as OCXs in the AppBuilder
*All COM objects supported by the selected Automation Server or ActiveX control
*The properties, methods, and events for any selected COM object
* Using the COM Object Viewer
* Accessing Type Libraries
* Locating objects in the Viewer
* Viewing methods, properties, and events
