Files Included in OLE2V.EXE

Version 1.33 Changes

• The 32-bit version is 100 percent compatible with Windows 95 in terms of using the right colors, and so on.
• A bug in the Japanese version of Windows (display of spurious characters) is fixed.
• DEFO2V32.DLL is changed to include only the ANSI versions of the interface viewers. Now DispplayIDataObjectA, DispplayIDispatchA, DispplayITypeInfoA, and DispplayITypeLibA are gone. DispplayIDataObject, DispplayIDispatch, DispplayITypeInfo, and DispplayITypeLib are now ANSI; they used to be Unicode. This change was made to simplify debugging DEFO2V and because the Unicode versions were never called.

Version 2.0 BETA Changes

• Requires MFC40 DLLs. The necessary ones are included if you do not have them.
• Requires either Windows NT version 3.51 or above, or Windows 95.
• Better categorization/organization of various object types. Much easier to find the object you're looking for. (Still no find command though.)
• Interface viewers are now COM objects. Viewers for IDataObject, IDispatch, ITypeLib, and ITypeInfo are provided. You can write your own.

  A default interface viewer for IUnknown is included, so that no matter what interface you click on, you'll at least get the default.

• The IDataObject viewer (call the the Uniform Data Transfer viewer) is still under construction. It's not nearly as functional as the original (yet).
• The ITypeLib viewer is very good. A typelib decompiler was written. The output window of the typelib viewer shows the .ODL source for the given typelib (or the part you have selected).
• The registry view (right side) now shows *all* the relevant registry information, including named values of keys like "ApartmentModel".
• Context menus (right mouse buttons work).
• Multiple objects can be activated simultaneously (bold items are currently active).
• Drag & Drop (WM_DROPFILES and OLE) works. Drop a file name on Ole2View and a file moniker is created and bound to it.
• Drag & Drop, and the drag & drop object is put in the list.
