Display name of components

first_sandy

Hi, Can any one help me how to change the display name of components. Like in ODL file, the syntax is: [uuid(.......), version(1.0)] library MyComponentLibrary { ....... In this case the display name of my component is "MyComponentLibrary" but i want to change it to "iZ imaging Toolkit 2004 R1.0". Please reply me soon if you have any suggestions. rgds, Rana Dosti ke bhi kuch andaaj hote hai, jagti ankho main bhi kuch khwab hote hai, jaroori nahi ki gum may hi aansu nikle, muskurati ankho main bhi sailaab hote hai...

Use the [helpstring] keyword. [uuid(.......), version(1.0), helpstring("iZ imaging Toolkit 2004 R1.0") ] library MyComponentLibrary ... With best wishes, Vita

Thanks Victor, But it does not work. When i register my component, its display name is still "MyComponentLibrary". pls put ur comment .. rgds, Rana

So what is your "display name"? Dim obj As MyComponentLibrary

MyComponentLibrary" ? As far COM, the "library MyComponentLibrary" gives the name of library. It cannot be changed, but only by new name. With best wishes,

Like in Visual basic, Open the menu Project->References. In References dialog box the Display names of components are different than their library names. I just want to know how can i change that name in the References dialog box. rgds, rana

With [helpstring] of the library statement of IDL(ODL). When I make such change, I will see it in VB project. Hm... I see that the VB saves the name in own project. It needs for the showing of missing references. Though the VB rechanges these names before saving or opening the project. With best wishes, Vita

Hi, What Victor mentioned is correct. Modifying the helpstring in IDL/ODL, will reflect in the tlb listing dlg. If you are not getting it, might be somthiing else is wrong. best wishes..mil10
