Determining the GUID of a file

[samshiell]

Hi
How can I (programmatically) obtain the GUID of a DLL that may or may not be registered on the target machine?

I'm sure this is easy but I've been searing to 2 days now and not got anywhere...

Thanks

Sam

Or, do a search for "dll guid" (without the quotes) in this forum.

Click Project -> References
Select "TypeLib Information"

Add the Following Code

Public Function GetGuid(ByVal FileName As String) As String

    Dim x As TypeLibInfo
    
    Set x = TypeLibInfoFromFile(FileName)
    GetGuid = x.Guid
    Set x = Nothing
    
End Function
