Not yet. Importtl creates a pascal unit that declares all interface exported by a COM typelib (dll, exe, tlb or olb). The resulting unit is like a library binding but consists of interface declarations instead of function declarations. I've also finished a lazarus package that integrates the tool into lazarus. It includes an ActiveXContainer (TWinControl descendant) that allows for visual activex components. The package also creates new ActiveX component packages directly from the typelib. The latest patch in http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=21077 contains the last bits needed in importtl and typelib to support this. Once that is commited I'll submit the lazarus package to the lazarus issue tracker. Documentation will follow. > And in general what > to do with the result later... That is the same as asking "what can you do with a library". The answer is: "depends on the object". Most of the COM objects have documentation to describe what the interfaces do.
