Hello,

I have a COM interface I am developing. It is simple. It has a Counter
property, a Count() method, and a Reset() method.

It just so happens the interface will be used from Microsoft Visual C++. I
understand I can import the type library using "#import".

This much is happening, I can even declare an interface pointer
successfully. The code completion recognizes the member functions and
properties on the interface with no difficulties.

However, the build does not recognize what the interface pointer is. My
question is simple: how do I make the compiler recognize the type library
file?

Or is this another Borland versus Microsoft issue?

Regards,
Michael Powell
