OLE Manager

[RizlaUK]

heres my first app made wuth Visual Basic, its a little basic, but dont what is intended to do

i was searching for a free app to take the pain out of keeping track of installed OLE components and i couldent find anything to do the job (less than £30) so i made my own, its a simple tool, i may expand it when i get to know VB a little better

WARNING:
if you dont know what OLE or ActiveX is then please DO NOT download or use this software, i will not be held responsable for any damage caused by misuse or malfunction of this application.

While we are on the subject, how handy would it be to be able to rightclick a dll or ocx file and register/unregister it on the system, when testing i have to do this a lot and this can be a pain

save this to a text file and name it "Anything.reg" and run it

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile\shell\Register OCX]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile\shell\Register OCX\command]
@="regsvr32.exe \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile\shell\Unegister OCX]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ocxfile\shell\Unegister OCX\command]
@="regsvr32.exe /u \"%1\""


[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\Register DLL]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\Register DLL\command]
@="regsvr32.exe \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\Unegister DLL]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\dllfile\shell\Unegister DLL\command]
@="regsvr32.exe /u \"%1\""

Nice job. That's a handy tool for sure. Saves opening VB or Access to get the name etc.

I use FileMenu Tools http://www.lopesoft.com/en/index.html which adds lots of usefull options to the right-click menu, two of which are register and unregister activex.

Looks interesting and congratulations on your first VB project being completed.
