Teklynx Discover ActiveX - What Is the Type Library

Chapter 1 -- 3
Discover ActiveX Automation for your labeling software
What is the type library?
The type library supplied by the labeling software is a file
(Lppx2.tlb) that describes the type of all the ActiveX objects.
The type library does not store objects, it stores type informa-
tion. By accessing the type library, your application can
determine the characteristics of an object, such as the interfaces
supported by the object and the names and parameters.
This library helps you to write your program because it contains
all the definitions of object methods and properties that you can
access. Using this library you optimize your job.
