You can view properties on a module or an interface by selecting either type of object in your workstation view and choosing View->Properties from the menu bar. This window shows the properties of the selected module or interface object on your local workstation view.
For interface objects, you can reset the OLE Interface Type from the properties window on the selected interface. Resetting the interface type (for example, from OLE automation server to ActiveX control) re-registers the interface.
The properties window on a module indicates the module name and the full path name of the type library and type library source generated for a module.
When you have finished viewing the properties, click OK or Cancel to close the window.
Viewing or Changing Object Properties, Properties on a Module
You can check or change the OLE interface type after you have registered an object on your workstation:
The interface object properties window provides both a view of the interface object attributes and a place to set them. The Automation Server radio button indicates that the given interface object supports automation without visual capabilities. Objects with this type of automation interface are created using the Visual Basic CreateObject statement, or similar statements in other client tools. The ActiveX Control radio button indicates an ActiveX Control, where an object is created by dragging the control onto the client form. Note that toggling the value of an OLE Interface Type radio button re-registers the selected interface object as an OLE interface of the new type. A confirmation window appears before the re-registration is done.
If you want to change the interface type of the selected object, click on the desired object setting (Automation Server or ActiveX Control) and then click OK to close the window and activate your changes. (Or click Cancel to close the window without saving your changes.)
