I have a COM interface GUID but I don't know that interface definition. I don't know what methods it has, what parameters they have and so on. How can I obtain such information? Is it possible in general?
Practical problem is obtaining interface definition for few COM interfaces defined in actxprxy.dll
. For example IFileDialogPrivate
({AC92FFC5-F0E9-455A-906B-4A83E74A803B}
). (Obviously the interface is not documented and the name does suggest there is a reason for that.) I tried to use OLE/COM Object Viewer
(OleView.exe
) for that but wasn't able to get the interface definition.
I am trying to implement IFileDialogPrivate
while doing some experiments on forcing IExplorerBrowser
control to filter Windows 7 library folders. IFileDialog
(which seems to use IExplorerBrowser
) does it somehow and IExplorerBrowser
askes service provider for IFileDialog
and IFileDialogPrivate
if ICommDlgBrowser
is provided so I tryied to explore that interface. (Also it asks for few other interestingly named interface - could be useful).
