Object Model Tool?

[Jim Pragit]

Can anyone recommend a freeware tool that can display a complete object model
in a visual format? IOW, if I gave it the ADO 2.5 library, it would display
a hierarchical tree showing every single object, method, property and event
and how they're all related.

Try Visual Modeler (included with Visual Studio Enterprise)

Isn't this what the object explorer does??

(pardon my denseness if it isn't...)

Sort of, but not really. I'm looking for a tool that can display the complete
object in a tree view format. Unless you know about some feature I'm not
aware of, Object Explorer doesn't do this.

Thanks, Rahul. I don't have it installed, but that's easily fixed.

If you're looking for something that will display the hierarchy in TreeView
format then Visual Modeler won't do it either. Visual Modeler will produce a
class diagram for you, not a "Tree View" of the hierarchy.

Why do you want to this anyway? Why not produce a Class diagram using Visual
Modeler. A class diagram would probably give better idea if the relationship
between objects.

If you absolutely want a tree style view, you can probably write a tool for
yourself using VB and the TypeLib Information library (TLBINF32.DLL).

You can use the Class Builder Add In, taking care of setting the 'Top Class'
property only for the classes that won't be used in any other class module.
This will build the hierarchy tree automatically.
