COM Interface Guid

Question

I\'m not much into COM interfaces, so i have a small question, say I have this code:

[Guid(\"148BD528-A2AB-11CE-B11F-00AA00530503\"), 
 InterfaceType(ComInterfac         


        

Answer 1

I've never encountered a formal documentation - there are, however, several ways to look it up:

• Open the type lib (usually the server DLL itself) in OLE Viewer (included in visual studio tools)
• looking it up in the SDK .idl's / .h's
• write short VC++ program and use __uuidof(IInterface)
• Looking it up under HKCR\Interface (though not all interfaces need to get registered there)

Answer 2

In the registry, do a search for the class name in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, you will find the GUID
