How can I browse the classes and methods of an ActiveX DLL?

Question

Basically, what I want to is be able to explore an ActiveX DLL. I normally fire up VB 6, add the DLL to the \"References\" of the project, and use Object Explorer.

If the machine has Microsoft Office installed, you can go into the built-in Visual Basic for Applications IDE and load the object there:

Tools menu -> Macro -> Visual Basic Editor (or press Alt+F11)

Then when inside the VBA window, Tools menu -> References -> Browse to locate your DLL

and View menu -> Object Browser to view the object's content (or press F2)
