Creating Type Libraries for Broadcast Architecture

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

Broadcast Architecture does not provide separate type library files for its components. Instead, type library information is included as a resource in the .dll or .ocx file for the component in question. Including type library information as a resource ensures that this information is always the correct version for the object library. To create a type library from a .dll or .ocx file, use the type library utilities provided by your compiler.

If you are using Visual C++, the type library utility is the ClassWizard available from the View menu. In the Microsoft® Visual J++™ development system for Java, use the Java Type Library Wizard available from the Tools menu. In Visual Basic, simply create a reference to the object library or add the component to the project.
