Lazarus: "Tools > Import Type Library" not available

Question by Guest | 2014-08-14 at 16:24

I would like to include a Windows DLL in one of my Lazarus programs or in other words, I would like to use some of its types and functions as an object in my code.

I have found an example of how to do that, but this requires the function "Tools > Import Type Library" in the menu of the Lazarus IDE.

Unfortunately, I cannot find this function in my Lazarus version (1.2.4). There is not even a similar menu entry available. Can someone help me?

The import type library function requires that the package LazActiveX (ActiveX for Lazarus) is installed in your IDE.

To ensure this, go to the menu "Package > Install/Uninstall Packages" and select LazActiveX from the right list and click on "Install selection" and after that on the button  "Save and rebuild IDE". After that, the function should be available in your IDE.
