This tool uses 2 COM interfaces named ITypeLib & ITypeInfo(detailed in MSDN now) to extract symbolic info from an In-Process COM Server and generates corresponding *.MAP/*.DBG file. This will be a great help when you try to crack OCXs.

I don't know whether IDA itself or its plug-ins can do this.

I have only worked on 2 ocxs.

I didn't found any difficultys with either.

Cept if you count finding a copy of delphi to test it with, and the buggy demo code supplied.

Kilby...

You can always try it on my ocx. I have been waiting for people to feedback to me but no one answered my call. My app is called RTSPS (forget about RT, SPS means software protection system)

Thanks!

Solomon, thank you for that link. Who would have thought that this information would come in handy in 2004?
