A small utility for looking up an object based on a CLSID or progid
About ObjectLookup
This is the second version of ObjectLookup. The UI has been enhanced a bit with shortcut keys etc. Also the ProgID field now has focus per default.
Objectlookup is a small utility that will give you the classname and
executable based on a CLASID or ProgID. It is handy in those situations where
you for instance have a Progid, and you want to refer it in you Visual Basic
project through 'references', but do nok know where to find the DLL housing the
object.
Another use is for those situations where you want to convert a Visual Basic
sample utilising COM objects based on Progid to C++ code based on CLSID
without using the ProgIDToCLSID() API.
It should be noted that all this information can be obtained manually through the registry editor - but this tool will take the pain out of the process.
