There must be some VB devs out there...

how do I extract the methods and properties of an object at runtime? ...like in the IDE when you type text1. and a popup list pops up!

Are you trying to get a list of all properties and methods that object supports?

Chris.

yes, but without having to use a 3rd party DLL to read them for me.

it all seems a bit messy so far!

Fosters,

I don't think that you can to this directly within VB6. Maybe worth having a look at the VB7 beta as you should be able to do it with that.

Cheers

Erm, I'm no VB guru, but can't you enumerate the Properties Collection of the control in question?

You should be able to say..

For x = 1 to mycontrol.properties.Count

{Do something here}

Msgbox mycontrol.properities.property

Next x

Cheers,

Use TBLINF32.DLL, if anyone's vaguely interested!
