Hello,

I want to import an activeX DLL in a project and use it. I have imported 
the DLL and Delhi has generated an Import Unit for that DLL and added it 
to my project. I have not installed it to the Tools Palette as this DLL 
does not have any user interface.

Now how can I use it as I am not able to call any of its methods or set 
its property?

I have added the modules name to uses clause but I am not able to use it.

Help please.

Regards,

Yogi Yang

Check your imported unit....there you will find the "name" of the imported 
DLL
At the begining something "similar" as....

  XpdfPS_ = IXpdfPS;            <-- This is the name. It can be 
whatever...depends of your DLL
  // *********************************************************************//
 // Schnittstelle: IXpdfPS
 // Flags:     (4416) Dual OleAutomation Dispatchable
 // GUID:      {35301E40-66A2-11D7-BD2E-08004608C318}
 // *********************************************************************//
   IXpdfPS = interface(IDispatch)
 etc...........a lot of code follow...



Now in your code....

Procedure Use_mydll;
Var
  xpdf               : XpdfPS_;
Begin
  XPDF:=CoXpdfPS_.Create;
  Now you can use it.....
  xpdf..loadfile....  or whatever this DLL do....read the documentytion of 
the iported DLL.
