Reference for COM objects?

Looking for a quick reference to look up COM objects

[vabtz]

Does anyone know where a reference for COM objects exists?

I know how to use them I just want a list of available COM objects, what they do, and the methods they expose.

Are you looking for a technical com reference or commercial com objects?

well specifically I am looking for a way to access some win32 functions via COM from php.

And every time I want to use COM I don't know how to find out what COM objects there are for me to use ( besides looking in the registry ) and the interfaces they provide.

so what I am looking for is a easy way to find COM objects and their interfaces.

A chart or a tool would be great

Do you have and OLE Com Object Viewer? It comes with Visual Studio if you have that. I can sticky you the URL to this subject in the msdn too if you'd like?

I thought as much. I am waiting on getting permission to install it because requires us to make my box nonstandard.

( I work for the goverment )

I have been on msdn and there is lots on how to use COM ( which I understand ) but nothing ( that I have found ) on how to find what COM object are available and their interfaces.

The only thing I can find is examples and they only cover Office applications.

Anything you could post would be great.

thanks for the help :)
