Property/Method Descriptions for COM Libraries
If you create a COMClass, I've noticed that the values in the XML Summary tag do not show in the object browser of VB6/VBA when you reference the resulting tlb file. Is there a way to have these valu开发者_JAVA百科es show up?
No, 12 years of IntelliSense evolution prevents this from working. The XML documentation comments generates an .xml file that IntelliSense can pick up.
In VB6/A, documentation is present in the type library with the helpstring
attribute. For example:
[
odl,
uuid(2334D2B1-713E-11CF-8AE5-00AA00C00905),
hidden,
dual,
nonextensible,
oleautomation
]
interface IVBDataObject : IDispatch {
[id(0x00000001), helpstring("Clears all data and formats in a DataObject object."), helpcontext(0x00033693)]
HRESULT Clear();
// etc...
};
Getting the same from your [ComVisible]
class library requires the [Description]
attribute. Note this answer for a quirk about the way it works for properties.
