Back to the Main Page

 (This page is massively under construction -- see the on-line help in VJ++ for more info!)

1. Create the IDL/ODL file to describe how/what you want to interface with
2. Use MkTypLib (or MIDL) to generate a TLB file
3. Use the JavaTlb utility to make the java wrapper class, and Register the TLB
4. Write the class in Java, compile -- Make sure to put this into the right directory!!!!
5. Use JavaReg to register your new class
6. Use in a client program
