Description

The function find-component-tlb returns the path of the type library associated with the component name .

name should be the name of a component (either a ProgID or a GUID).

If version is supplied, find-component-tlb finds only this version of the type library.

If min-version or max-version , or both of these, are supplied, they restrict which version of the type library can be found.

Each of version , min-version and max-version , if supplied, should be a string. The string should contain either one hexadecimal number or two hexadecimal numbers separated by a dot. The first number is the major version, the second is the minor version, which defaults to 0.

If version is not supplied, then find-component-tlb preferentially finds the the library version specified in the registry for the component (if any) if it fits the specification by max-version and/or min-version , otherwise it finds the earliest version in the range specified by min-version and max-version .

find-component-tlb returns nil if it fails to find the type library within the specified version constraints.
