Re: Appendix Thread. ( Codes for other Threads, HTML Tables, etc. )<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
Hi<o:p></o:p>
. I would like to use this Thread as an Appendix for codes in other Threads so as to help reduce clutter in that Thread should the code be a bit long, or not directly relevant.<o:p></o:p>
. Also as HTML code is on in this Test Sub Forum I would like to reference HTML Tables should I wish to use them in answering threads<o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
@ Moderators, Administrator:<o:p></o:p>
. I hope the above is OK to do and if so please do not delete this Thread. ( Or advise if I should post my "Appendix" somewhere else ( If possible where HTML code is on ) )<o:p></o:p>
.<o:p></o:p>
. Many Thanks<o:p></o:p>
Alan<o:p></o:p>

20 Rem 0 At the Dim stage a '_-String is "Pointer" to a "Blue Print" (or Form, Questionaire not yet filled in, a template etc.)"Pigeon Hole" in Memory, sufficient in construction to house a piece of Paper with code text giving the relevant information for the particular Variable Type. VBA is sent to it when it passes it. In a Routine it may be given a particular “Value”, or (“Values” for Objects). There instructions say then how to do that and handle(store) that(those). At Dim the created Paper is like a Blue Print that has some empty spaces not yet filled in. A String is a bit tricky. The Blue Print code line Paper in the Pigeon Hole will allow to note the string Length and an Initial start memory Location. This Location well have to change frequently as strings of different length are assigned. Instructiions will tell how to do this. Theoretically a specilal value vbNullString is set to aid in quich checks, But http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/361246-vbnullstring-2.html#post44116

Edit: I gave up with this post after getting so many quirky results in Windows 10 and windows 11, so I started this Thread (https://www.excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2986-Version-Info-using-VBA-and-registry-quirks)



Some functions and rough notes on Versions on some computers used in the testings from this page 56 (https://bit.ly/40fepOB) and page 55 (https://www.excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2824-Tests-Copying-pasting-Cliipboard-issues/Page55#post24120) and a few other related forum postings

Its useful to keep track of some of your computer specs, and Office versions when playing around with the codings on this page.
The macro below, Sub WhatAmI() ( along with the functions under it which go with it) may help to get some of that info. Run it and some info should appear in the Immediate Window. (From the VB Editor, hold the Ctrl key down and then hit key g to get that Immediate Window up)
Note there are a few bugs and quirks :
_ Application.OperatingSystem can give quirky answers in windows 11 (https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=313844#p313844) , so the operating system result may be wrong for if you have Windows 11. In fact currently it seems a bit wonky everywhere
_I don’t know if that macro gets it correct in Office versions 2016, 2019,2021, 2024 or 365, since I don’t have them versions to check. My guess is that it might be a bit iffy for 2016 2019,2024 or 365

2007 ht t ps://microsoft.public.word.vba.general.narkive.com/5LFhze6E/clear-office-clipboard-from-vba#post10 Tony Jollans If you are using Office 2000 you do have some indirect access to the Office Clipboard from VBA - but you do not have it in any later versions. In Office 2000 the Office Clipboard is presented as a CommandBar and so you can programmatically manipulate the Controls, for example ... CommandBars("Clipboard").Controls("Clear Clipboard").Execute
In Office XP and later, the Office Clipboard is presented as a Task Pane and the 'back door' has been shut. AFAIK, VBA access to it post-2000 is impossible - I don't think you can even do it with SendKeys (but don't quote me on that).
2007 ht t ps://microsoft.public.word.vba.general.narkive.com/5LFhze6E/clear-office-clipboard-from-vba#post13 Tony Jollans ….. Loosely, what happens is this: when you do a Copy operation the Windows Clipboard is cleared and whatever it is you are copying is placed in the Windows Clipboard. It may be added in several different formats (it's not Really relavant now, but some of them may go onto the clipboard itself, some of them may be pointers for the originating application to act on later request). When you do a Paste, the Windows Clipboard is asked to provide whatever is on it in the format you want and, providing that format is available, it will provide it, but still maintain whatever it holds for you to do further Pastes if you wish. In normal circumstances you should not need to do an explicit emptying of the clipboard yourself.
Separate to all this there is, again (very) loosely, a Windows event fired when something is added to the Windows Clipboard which allows Office to know that it has happened and take a copy for the Office Clipboard. Entirely separate from the Windows Clipboard, the Office Clipboard maintains its own copies of up to 12 (Office 2000) or 24 (later versions) items. Office provides some UI facilities for manipulating the copies it holds but they are not directly available from code and no Paste operation, other than explicitly from the Office Clipboard, will use them. If you do an explicit Paste from the Office Clipboard (via the UI) what actually happens is that a (Windows) Copy operation is triggered to copy from the Office Clipboard to the Windows Clipboard and a (Windows) Paste operation is then triggered to paste from the Windows Clipboard to the specified destination.
I confess myself at a total loss to explain how something that has been removed from the Windows Clipboard can later be Pasted; it can only happen if it has be re-placed (i.e. re-copied) on to the Windows Clipboard again - whether explicitly or implicitly as part of some other operation. So the immediate questions must be: can you verify that your copies have worked? can you verify that your clearing of the Windows clipboard has worked? and what do you do between copying and pasting? -- Enjoy,

Notes mostly originating from a bomb shell dropped by Mike, (SpeakEasy). The Windows Clipboard (https://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=300947#p300947)

Nov 2022 https://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=38910&p=301028#p301028 3 Office Windows Clipboard
Nov 2022 https://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=300947#p300947 1 Mike we only have 1 windows clipboard …… just the Windows clipboard. The Office clipboard is just a specific view ….. the clipboard is owned at any particular point in time by the window (or task) that last placed data in the clipboard. In conjunction with this, an application can request that data it is putting on the clipboard use something called 'deferred render' mode - this means that the data is not actually put on the clipboard at that time, the intended purpose being related to performance - it is only provided when a request to paste the data is made. Data marked for deferred render is removed from the clipboard when the owning window is closed. Excel seems to mark quite a lot of data for deferred rendering .
For a range Excel puts about 30 different formats of the data on the clipboard in the following order https://i.postimg.cc/yJn7hGWq/excelclipboarformats.jpg (https://postimg.cc/yJn7hGWq) 5816 https://i.postimg.cc/Kkzx05g1/excelclipboarformats.png (https://postimg.cc/Kkzx05g1) The 'Office clipboard' and 'Excel clipboard' are just limited viewers of the Windows clipboard. As indicated above, the source application has the responsibility of putting all the formats it deems necessary onto the clipboard. The consuming app iterates that list of formats to see which ones it supports.
so what’s this then (https://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=300955#p300955) https://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=300955#p300955 4
so any application can monitor (and display to the best of their ability) the contents of the clipboard*. (* this, by the way, is why you can find a plethora of applets that purport to show the contents of the clipboard such as FreeClipView and ClipDiary (back in the day - XP - Microsoft had their own proper clipboard viewer, but they got rid of it; I suspect because it used the slightly unstable clipboard viewer chain mentioned above; the replacement in Windows 10, which only works if you turn on clipboard history - yes they added a history capability to the OS - lacks features ...)) …. This used to be by inserting a clipboard viewer into the clipboard viewer chain - but this is not as robust as it might be, and is the source of some of the 'bugs' that you refer to (e,g. if applications fail to maintain the clipboard viewer chain properly or if a window in the clipboard viewer chain stops responding to messages). The current best practice method is to create a Clipboard Format Listener, which then receives notifications every time the clipboard changes. Applications are free to display the current contents of the clipboard that they understand in order to show the user what is available to paste. And that's what the Office clipboard is: simply a bespoke view of the Windows clipboard, not an actual separate clipboard. There IS a minor wrinkle to this - the Office clipboard viewer maintains a history of clipboard entries (the clipboard itself can only ever hold one entry). Again without going into the nitty gritty, this history consists of data formats that the Office applications know how to render. This can cause some minor inconsistencies..
something somewhere is telling the clipboard - Indeed. Specifically, the WM_RENDERFORMAT message (https://www.excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2824-Tests-Copying-pasting-Cliipboard-issues?p=18366&viewfull=1#post18366) - Sent to the clipboard owner if it has delayed rendering a specific clipboard format and if an application has requested data in that format. The clipboard owner must render data in the specified format and place it on the clipboard by calling the SetClipboardData function.
The .Copy method puts a copy of the object you are referencing onto the clipboard, in this case a Range.- and then synthesizes all the supported formats. including the Text format (which it does as the synthesized CF_TEXT format, which always ends CR LF [in fact it is even more clever than that, in that it actually separates Rows with CR LF and columns by Tab])
The DataObject's .SetText method exposed to VBA, on the other hand, expects a straightforward text string
(Oh, and one other thing: .PutInClipboard can perform ... unexpectedly ... on occasion if Windows file explorer is open.)
https://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=301028#p301028 14
Nov 2022 https://www.eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=301028#p301028 6 the windows clipboard ….. there is no such thing as an Excel Clipboard, and not even anything that might be considered as similar. _____ This thing, Let Application.CutCopyMode = False , is often said to clear the Excel Clipboard.
How about: It takes it out of the (Windows) Clipboard. So if you do a .Paste nothing will happen, as the (Windows) Clipboard is now empty, and the stupid thing is not as clever as that “Office thing that is similar to a clipboard” (that thing what we might call, for want of a better name, the Office Clipboard) , so it wont remember what was copied before. I note that Let Application.CutCopyMode = False makes the clipboard symbol go from orange to white. So maybe that is an indication of if the (Windows) Clipboard is occupied or not._.____________________________
That “Office thing that is similar to a clipboard” (that thing what we might call, for want of a better name, the Office Clipboard) , seems to hold a copied range including the format, long after other things have been copied , even if Let Application.CutCopyMode = False was used a few times, and even if the workbook from which it was copied has long since been closed. In fact, close Excel, go into Word, take a peek into the Office thing that is similar to a clipboard” (that thing what we might call, for want of a better name, the Office Clipboard) there, and you can also pick that copied Excel range out, and paste that copied Excel range into word. But now things are getting a bit inconsistent and quirky: I am finding that sometimes it will give me the formats and sometimes not, - Oh dear, Microsoft got their clipboard viewer chain in a tangle I expect._.____________________
I have often regarded the .Paste as using the Windows Clipboard, whereas I regarded the Excel .PasteSpecial function as using the Excel Clipboard.
Maybe .Paste is using the (Windows) Clipboard whereas the Excel .PasteSpecial function is just some coding to help you choose which version of the copy in the (Windows) Clipboard that you use.

The .Copy method puts a copy of the object you are referencing onto the clipboard, in this case a Range.- and then synthesizes all the supported formats. including the Text format (which it does as the synthesized CF_TEXT format (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dataxchg/clipboard-formats), which always ends CR LF )
The DataObject's .SetText method exposed to VBA, on the other hand, expects a straightforward text string
The .Copy is going to tell the Clipboard that it …. ( it being VBA I think in this case, or possibly Excel as the controlling/"owning thing") …. this it is in charge of the clipboard for the time being. This it is a deferred render entry thing, but if and when it does actually put stuff in The ( Microsoft Windows ) Clipboard, then in the case of a range it is gonna be quite a few formats, (maybe about 30 ) or maybe not?: I mean, as its a deferred render entry thing it might decide to put different things in The ( Microsoft Windows ) Clipboard depending on what is done later to trigger the thing to do what it is deferring doing when it’s the controlling/ "owning thing" ?
So that is maybe something close to what the .Copy is doing.
.SetText and .PutInClipboard
( I am not sure if this is a deferred entry thing or not ? ).
This can’t do anything much other than put text somewhere since that is all you give it: You give it a simple text string. That’s it.
_.___________________________________________I am not 100% sure what you are saying by your reference synthesized CF_TEXT (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/dataxchg/clipboard-formats)format.
This is my guess as to what you are saying. :
If I use the .GetFromClipboard and .GetText() from within VBA, then what I get will depend on what was the controlling "owning" thing of the The ( Microsoft Windows ) Clipboard at the time ….
Let me consider the 2 cases relevant here…
_ case1
If .Copy was the owning controlling thing of The ( Microsoft Windows ) Clipboard, then, when it sees the request of .GetFromClipboard from within VBA, it may not quite have the format requested. ….I am trying to understand that link you gave ….. I will take a guess that what is going on in this case1 is this:
It takes one of the formats on the first column from that link you gave which it does have* (*or will have – its deferred entry ....) . It than either makes one of the formats on the second column from that link, or maybe makes one that is not listed there. I don’t know. I do know, and agree with this bit that you said…. it actually separates Rows with CR LF and columns by Tab…..
_ case2
If the DataObject is the owning controlling thing of The ( Microsoft Windows ) Clipboard, ( in other words you did the .SetText and .PutInClipboard thing to put text in The ( Microsoft Windows ) Clipboard) , then …..you put a text in and you will get with the .GetFromClipboard and .GetText() the same text back. Simple as that. ( I am still not sure what of the CF_ things are used though in this case either )

opened a support case with Microsoft as suggested by Kirk Beller…..MS determined the cause to be 'most likely a flaw in our product'. So far, I have had no notification of when or if it might be fixed - MS helped me develop a robust workaround using native Windows API calls instead of a DataObject. These are documented in the following articles:
> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff192913.aspx (How to: Send Information to the Clipboard); - Cant find on archive, but the original gets redirected to a new one from 2022, archived at similar date https://web.archive.org/web/20240421213649/https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/access/Concepts/Windows-API/send-information-to-the-clipboard

These notes are intended to bring together some "Clsid Clipboard" discussions from approximately here https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=288963#p288963 and here, https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=314925#p314925
( Just as a bit of time orientation as dates on posts don't mean much here, it would be the time period from about 1 – 4 years ago )


Clsid Late Binding
Talking vaguely , and not too accurately technically Speaking, about these sort of things:

Something to do with the sadly mostly deceased / killed off Internet Explorer
GetObject("new:{D5E8041D-920F-45e9-B8FB-B1DEB82C6E5E}")

MSForms.ListBox https://web.archive.org/web/20140610024217/http://excelmatters.com/2013/05/21/transposing-an-array-using-an-in-memory-listbox/
CreateObject("New:{8BD21D20-EC42-11CE-9E0D-00AA006002F3}")

MSForms.DataObject https://web.archive.org/web/20140610055224/http://excelmatters.com/2013/10/04/late-bound-msforms-dataobject/
CreateObject("New:{1C3B4210-F441-11CE-B9EA-00AA006B1A69}")

The last one is the most commonly used and known about, at least around the VBA area where I am, or have been, over the last few years

I was curious to look into those things, amongst other reasons to see if there were any others and/ or a way to figure out if there was any way to get at any others, as well as the usual excitements and arousals got from looking up skirts and things that I probably shouldn’t .

Some notes picked up from smarter people
Mike (SpeakEasy), Hans, Chris : From about here https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=288963#p288963
Microsoft simply hasn't exposed a class name for DataObject. Most object we use do have a class name. For those we can use early binding by setting a reference, or late binding by using GetObject/CreateObject with a class name. DataObject is an exception, so we MUST use its hexadecimal ClassID.
36-character strings: .. It's the formal string representation of the underlying 128bit UUID (which Microsoft tend to refer to as a GUID; a CLSID is just a GUID being used for a specific role - identifying a class object), that representation being 32 hexadecimal digits separated by 4 hyphens ...
We humans are sheltered from them normally, but there are odd occasions where we find we have to use them. Not very often for most users, it has to be said.

Mike (SpeakEasy), from about here https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=314925#p314925
GUID is just a unique identifier. Microsoft use unique identifiers for all sorts of purposes in Windows, and then they are given specific names to better indicate their purpose, hence FMTID in my previous post. The GUIDs you can use with CreateObject are actually knows as CLSIDs (or Class IDs); each and every class on Windows has it's own CLSID, and you can look them all up in the registry under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
In general it offers little benefit compared to using the ProgID (the human readable string, such as word.application), and indeed often obfuscates what is going on (malware writers were big fans ...).

There are, however, a few rare scenarios where it can prove useful. Some COM objects do not have a ProgID. Often such objects are not directly useful to VB/VBA programmers, but some are. The one you use in your example, 1C3B4210-F441-11CE-B9EA-00AA006B1A69, is the userform clipboard object*, so we get a cheap way of simple clipboard access.
( * More accurately the userform dataobject, (Microsoft.Vbe.Interop.Forms.DataObjectClass - this is NOT a ProgID) which provides simple access to the clipboard )

So at this point in the discursions here in this post, there is what look potentially two very similar codings, one got from me after eating too much Panzerschokolade a few years back, and the other from Mike. (I doubt the English piss bier he drinks helps like Panzerschokolade does me, rather I have a feeling he may be one of the last people on the planet knows a useful thing or two)
But there is an important difference in the two: Both get the { curly bracket quid/Clsid stuff }, But he also gets a "ProgID" ????


By the way, back then, partly as I only got the { curly bracket quid/Clsid stuff } , I did myself the coding below to create an object from the Clsid and then look at the TypeName( object ) . I did that as a geuss on how to get the class name, if it had one.

My object creating abortion
In the coding of mine, ( Public Sub ListCLSIDs_Me() or Sub ListCLSIDs() ) , I only got the list of the 36 characters in the squiggly bracket , { curly bracket quid/Clsid stuff } things. ( I did not know for sure how to get the name )
But I was interested in the name thing. So as I was not sure how to do it, I wrote , back then, that second program, Sub CLSIDsValueNames() to try and get that name somehow. It basically creates the object, or tries to, and if it is successful, it tries to get the TypeName( object ) of that object.
It works just on the selection you make in column A, the 36 characters in the squiggly bracket , { } things.
Back then, I did a few . but, I broke off from doing it for all the 6527 things, as after doing a few, some applications started appearing after a computer restart, and I had to tank them from the Task Manager.
But for the ones I did do so far, there is some similarity between what I get for my
____ = TypeName( the created object )
, and what Mike effectively gets from these 2 lineyMike’s
RegObject.getstringvalue &H80000000, "CLSID" & entryArray(ExRowCnt) & "\ProgId", "", KeyValue
Prog = KeyValue

Here, just as example, some of the first results

Some initial quick comparison thoughts
(Comparison mainly for now)

Here again the two macros in their slightly rearranged and modified form to help compare
https://i.postimg.cc/rskdx3bT/Me-Clsids.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/VN20LdWd/Me-Clsids-Mike-Clsids-Prog-IDs.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/RC7J4C6Z/Mike-Clsids-Prog-IDs.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/FRxkK7Wd/Me-Clsids-Mike-Clsids-Prog-IDs.jpg (https://postimg.cc/VrdkGLcm)

The registry object looks the same. Its Getted as an object like these
Mike _ "winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\" & strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv"
Me ___________________ "winmgmts:\\.\root\default:StdRegProv"

My code I cobbled together a bit wildly. I am not sure yet how Mike got his: (It can’t be the piss that is taken as English Beer, as that kills brain cells worse than old age)

We both do a .EnumKey thing referencing the CLSID which gives us an array back of a Variant types, (0 to 6525) . I use a variable KeyValues() , Mike uses a variable entryArray() . Those arrays are identical , perhaps as expected as the .EnumKey thing is very similar
___ .EnumKey &H80000000, "CLSID", entryArray() - Mike
.EnumKey 2147483650#, "SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID", KeyValues() - Me

The array ( Me - KeyValues() , Mike entryArray() ) has exclusively strings in it, the first is just the word CLSID ,the rest of the 6525 are those 36 characters in the squiggly bracket , { } things.
We both effectively loop them strings out. I do just that. Mike makes that the first column that, ( and also Mike makes a second column, which appears to get the name you would use in the late binding thing CreateObject("name") thing. )

Squiggly bracket , { } thing
Regarding that thing in the Mike first of two columns, (the only thing my first macro does), so it is that 36 characters in the squiggly bracket , { } things. I ended up putting each squiggly bracket , { } thing in a variable KeyValue, getting each one out of my KeyValues() . Mike just loops out directly each of his entryArray() (He does in his original coding give that the heading, CLSID

The name you would use in the late binding thing CreateObject("name") thing.
My second abortion coding, Sub CLSIDsValueNames() (https://www.excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2824-Tests-Copying-pasting-Cliipboard-issues?p=24137&viewfull=1#post24137) , attempted to get that. It did not work too well, but got something similar sometimes.
Mike gets that as well in his coding.
( Mike strangely uses the variable name KeyValue , for the name thing. Whereas I use the variable name KeyValue for the other thing, the squiggly bracket , { } things, which Mike uses no variable for but they comes from his entryArray() and he gives his first column the name CLSID . It is a bit pedantic perhaps, but I might like to think a bit more about the better more appropriate variable name as it can help understand/ remember what is going on **)
Mike gets the name effectively from a line each time inside the loop
.getstringvalue &H80000000, "CLSID" & entryArray(ExRowCnt) & "\ProgId", "", KeyValue


**Maybe one or both of us could do better with the name of our variables to make things more clear ??

Maybe later thoughts, …… later ….

For now I will post , at eileenslounge, and wait a while, in case someone Smarter has any comments.

( A few other for later, later thoughts ….._
_..... there is one obvious similarity in the two macros, they are using some WimMIe widget gismo thing. This WimMIe widget gismo stuff is a windows lurking thing so I expect you can get in a few ways. I feel a desire to do this sort of thing with PowerShell from within VBA. I’m not sure why yet , - either a simple perversion or some gut feeling that it might be handy later …. Not quite sure why yet … just a feeling in my bones that it could be useful )

Another look at the abortion , 2024
I decided to risk it and went through all the squiggly bracket , { } things in the macro that tries to make an object from them like CreateObject("New:" & squiggly bracket { } thing & "")
It wasn’t so bad, - no new strange things appeared permanently
There were a few crashes which I either let Excel restart itself or I tanked the crashed Excel with the Task Manage r and restarted. ( It happened so much that I got the thing you get after a lot of crashes https://i.postimg.cc/t4w5CTYY/Wir-bedauern-die-Crashing.jpg )
A few other things I noticed.
There were a few hangs, not many
The OLE wait thing ( https://i.postimg.cc/Vkdg8Msx/OLE-waiting.jpg ) popped up few times. Hitting the OK usually moved it on. Occasionally once was enough but 3 times was most commonly required
Excel 2003 tried to install or configure a few times.
Some strange Xceed Encryption Library also appeared a few times https://i.postimg.cc/NGkp7BPz/Xceed-Encryption-Library.jpg



I was not quite so brilliant with VBA coding as I am now back when I wrote that first abortion coding, and also I thought it might be good to get some error messages. So I did another

It tells me the error if the object could not be made (if the CreateObject("New:" & squiggly bracket { } thing & "") line errors ) , ( as well if the object making seemed ok, but then the TypeName(object) errors - that situation occurs rarely)
( Also in column C, I added some extra notes about things that happened. I may be a cell or two out on when it happened, but if that is the case, I mention that I am not sure )
Here are the things that happened

The version thing is inconsistent, not always happening , as are both some of the crashes , and some of the number of times an "OLE" pop up needs to be clicked on to move on . But I think I have a 90% good report of what would happen.

Pondering.....

Some more Clsid stuff and revision, March 2025
Originally I was just interested in some more info on the annoyances of different settings coupled with Excel guessing what you want to see when you type something in a cell, ( https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=325768#p325768 , https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=42065 ) , but we slipped back into registry Clsid ponderings after some codings were unlikely to work with default VBA registry settings.

This post for the time being is another review/ refresh on the actual coding , with emphasis on bringing the thing into a single registry object coding to look at stuff. Why? – well I thought someone aught to by now…. :)

Brief Review of the coding ideas, past/ previous
For a diverse number of reasons the codings of mine and Mike's have come about, and that is discussed to death in the posts above and other references therein.
Lets start again today, talking generally about the coding(s) as a whole, single like entity, sort of what's going on.
_ A "registry object" is made………. GetObject("winmgmts ……………..
_ That gets refined/ narrowed down a bit via a .EnumKey which has three arguments,
__the first narrows us down to (in our example the first) one of these 5 regedit explorer things ( https://i.postimg.cc/6pgdTX9M/The-5-Reg-explorer-bits.jpg )
' HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT (2147483648#) (&H80000000)
' HKEY_CURRENT_USER (2147483649#)
' HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (2147483650#)
' HKEY_USERS (2147483651#)
' HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG (2147483653#)
__ the second is a further narrowing down via part of the "explorer path length" string to get you somewhere. (In our example Mike use "CLSID" ( and me some erroneous "SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID", but I think they end up both here at Clsid(** or maybe not ), because there is good correlation finally with what the third argument gets filled with https://i.postimg.cc/fTj235yG/Good-correlation-CLSIDs.jpg
https://i.postimg.cc/fTj235yG/Good-correlation-CLSIDs.jpg (https://postimages.org/)
** First noticed in this review later in 2025.. We are both in fact not going to the same place. But I missed it as the lists look identical…… here we were going
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID - ' Me
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT - CLSID - ' Mike
__ the third argument is what you have to give, - a Variant is commonly used. A dynamic array seems to work as well, and it gets filled with those {Quid Clsid}s which seem to be just strings, (but you have to use a Variant type array declaration or the array comes back of the right size but something goes screwy and the elements are empty somehow erroneously)

At this point the codings differed a bit…
I did nothing else but print out (loop the ) the Clsid list. (Then later in a different coding I used it/ them in my attempt to do a
_ object = CreateObject("New:" & …… the {Clsid}
, followed by a
_ TypeName( … of the created object if it got one
Mike had a another use of the register object, an extra code line inside the loop to get the Clsid list, he had this which is not so different from the .EnumKey, this time its a .getstringvalue
, RegObject.getstringvalue &H80000000, "CLSID" & entryArray(ExRowCnt) & "\ProgId", "", KeyValue
, and we get just one thing back from the last argument this time, and that is a "ProgID" , if there is one, - some do have one, ( https://i.postimg.cc/QxY0cQH6/ProgID.jpg ) , ( and that code line don't error if there isn't one). The result often has similarities to the TypeName(object) that I get. (My way is more prone to errors and crashes, and other weird things)

So that is the Sunday summary / revision



Now a bit of a Sunday and Monday Late March 2025, Ponder

Ponder ponder ponder ....


still pondering, ....

From Mike (https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=326198#p326198) > that list is perhaps derived from a registry list ,
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib

OK, Let's take a look….
There is a bit of an awkward thing with sub Folders with different numbers on. Here is the first few

https://i.postimg.cc/k4Jm9RQ6/Type-Lib-Microsoft-Active-X-Data-Objects-2-0-Library.jpg (https://postimages.org/) 6190
Probably those numbers are in the range 1.0 to 6.0 or there abouts. Never mind, I am sure my high levels of VBA skillture will get me over that little hurdle ….. here we go then …. Hold ya butts ….

Some extra notes to go with these main forum post
https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=326446#p326446

I am catching up here and responding to some of the interesting info in this post (https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=326247#p326247)
I might also be responding to the second half of this one (https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=326198#p326198) , bit I still have not quite figured out what was being said there. ( I wasn't confused by the AidFromGuid metjhopd , - I know that's the SiP syndrone (Smartphone In Pub) :smile: )
Or maybe I am just pondering, a not uncommon occurrence

So… Update so far, and introduction to current stand
Going back a year and / or 4, we have tangled with "Clsid registry lists" before, and the digressions here forced me to revise them again, from and around here (https://www.excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2986/?p=25008&viewfull=1#post25008), or there abouts.
I had back then a bad Winniemidgetgismo coding, and Mike did it better, (a not un common state of affairs in recent years….)
It ended up like this
https://i.postimg.cc/Y9Q7rPYQ/Old-Clsid-Lists.jpg
https://i.postimg.cc/ZBY2jVfq/Old-Clsid-Lists.jpg (https://postimg.cc/ZBY2jVfq)

The coding that got the lists…
What I tried was I Initially got just the Clsid list and then, a while later, I tried to stick them pseudo in a
Obj = CreateObject("New:" & MeClisid & "")
, see what happened. It did not damage or break too much on my computers, at last not all of them always, but I was not too sure what was going on. If an attempt did not error or break something, then I did a
TypeName(Obj)
, on the resulting object. I am not sure why I did that, I expect I just thought at the time that somebody perhaps should. I had no idea what the results were telling me.
You ( You= Mike (https://eileenslounge.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=8741) ) in your coding equivalent got both the Clsid list and a ProgID. (And as I understand a bit better the winygismo codings I know now where that came from). Your code never errored or broke things like mine did, and there were sometimes similarities with your ProgID results and my TypeName(Obj), for the same Clisid

But I was still none the wiser on what it all meant..


But I am getting there now…
So lets look at your current example (https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=326247#p326247): https://i.postimg.cc/NMvg1Dw0/Little-referrence-checking-window-Microsoft-Scripting-Runtime.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/7hD0QSSH/Microsoft-Scripting-Runtime-more-explicitly-human-readable-name-that-appears-when-you-are-adding-a.jpg This is whre we might fist come across it, when "checking a reference for Early Binding"
https://i.postimg.cc/FfG5vjzt/Little-referrence-checking-window-Microsoft-Scripting-Runtime.jpg (https://postimg.cc/FfG5vjzt) We have learnt now that the relevant word to use there is the "human readable description" or "TypeLib human readable name", aka the name to look for in the little window for checking a reference

, - and here it is in "the Clsids" file of mine from s few years back
https://i.postimg.cc/05f8w7X8/Clsid-Microsoft-Scripting-Runtime.jpg ,
{0D43FE01-F093-11CF-8940-00A0C9054228} Tried FileSystemObject {0D43FE01-F093-11CF-8940-00A0C9054228} Scripting.FileSystemObject
https://i.postimg.cc/4m7LvBkX/Microsoft-Scripting-Runtime-in-old-File.jpg (https://postimg.cc/4m7LvBkX)

Here we can see it again in the little reference checking VB Editor window, https://i.postimg.cc/NMvg1Dw0/Little-referrence-checking-window-Microsoft-Scripting-Runtime.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/JD6ssDTv/Microsoft-Scripting-Runtime-more-explicitly-human-readable-name-that-appears-when-you-are-adding-a.jpg (https://postimg.cc/JD6ssDTv) , but that is perhaps not coming from directly from there, well maybe it is sort of,….


This is something new we picked up, Here it is (a different Guid number note), in the Registry Hive HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT , at the path TypeLib\{420B2830-E718-11CF-893D-00A0C9054228}\1.0
https://i.postimg.cc/J01MFh0V/Reg-Type-Lib-Microsoft-Scripting-Runtime.jpg
https://i.postimg.cc/YGy5GMQb/Reg-Type-Lib-Microsoft-Scripting-Runtime.jpg (https://postimg.cc/YGy5GMQb)
And we got some more recent Winnie codings to get that TypeLib info
{420B2830-E718-11CF-893D-00A0C9054228} 1.0 Microsoft Scripting Runtime
So that is a refresh on the Clsid stuff, and a bit extra about the TypeLib Guid
( This is also the Guid used in the .AddFroGuid – We do mot use the Clsid Guid there! )

Now we will move on in the next post

I am slightly upset at this point that the two different Guids in the last post
_ { the Clsid Guid }
and
_ { the other Guid ( related to "human readable description" or "TypeLib human readable name" given in that little window which you use to check a external library reference from the VB Editor , and the one to use in the .AddFromGuid ) }
are not more similar. Here they are again,
{0D43FE01-F093-11CF-8940-00A0C9054228} ' Clsid Guid FileSystemObject Scripting.FileSystemObject
{420B2830-E718-11CF-893D-00A0C9054228} ' TypeLib Guid 1.0 Microsoft Scripting Runtime
( But they are a bit similar. Maybe part of them would always be the same?? )

However, all is not lost., or maybe not always. Take a look at the other info that is sometimes there for a Clsid:
https://i.postimg.cc/HW543w1J/Microsoft-Scripting-Runtime-Inproc-Server32.jpg
https://i.postimg.cc/90GdMhYP/Microsoft-Scripting-Runtime-Prog-ID.jpg

In particular this: https://i.postimg.cc/nc3B0jrx/Microsoft-Scripting-Runtime-Clsid-telling-me-Type-Lib.jpg
https://i.postimg.cc/nc3B0jrx/Microsoft-Scripting-Runtime-Clsid-telling-me-Type-Lib.jpg (https://postimages.org/)
So we can see that the info to the TypeLib ( related to "human readable description" or "TypeLib human readable name" given in that little window which you use to check a external library reference from the VB Editor, which is also the one to use in the .AddFromGuid ) is also there.


What next, getting a bit confused with different Guids and different registry issues.

I think at this stage, I want to extend the investigation into the Guids on the XP machine that I recently I did the extensive Guid lists on ( https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=326377#p326377
https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=326431#p326431 ) , just to check out the full Clsid/ Guid situation before and perhaps after the TLBINF.dll registration (https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=326155#p326155)

[DocAElstein]

Clsid and other Guid lists review
We have
_ (i) some newer "TypeLib"codings, ( including a API one!! from Mike (https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=326275#p326275)) which look at the Guid ( "TypeLib Guid" )related to "human readable description" or "TypeLib human readable name" given in that little window which you use to check a external library reference from the VB Editor which is also the one to use in the .AddFromGuid . The full list of these Guids is at the registry path Computer HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT TypeLib
and
_(ii) an older "Clsid Guid" getting set of codings from me and Mike, reviewed again recently from about here: https://www.excelfox.com/forum/showthread.php/2986-Version-Info-using-VBA-and-registry-quirks-InterRegional-Settings-GmbH?p=25008&viewfull=1#post25008

In this post I would like to update again the latter earlier Clsid Guid codings, or rather make a new single one, to include, or at least investigate, the possibility of getting the TypeLib Guid as well from it, and some other information, following the discussions of the last posts, which showed that sometimes we may have that TypeLib Guid and/ or other information "at the Clisid" list, as it were.

This post discusses the coding. The over next posts discusses the results

Rem 1 The first thing it does is get the full Clsid list at the registry Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID using the Winnie way.

There are 4972 Clsids for the XP Notebook that I have recently been using in these recent discussions ( My name for that notebook is Keks, or KeksXP or similar ). (The returned array has 4973 elements, the first one, indicia 0, has a text in it CLSID )
This code next line puts the full CLSID list from here , https://i.postimg.cc/Tw8Th8bH/Computer-HKEY-CLASSES-ROOT-CLSID.jpg , https://i.postimg.cc/L4DhQXL9/HKEY-CLASSES-ROOT-CLSID.jpg , into the Array Clsids(),
RegInfoPro.EnumKey RegHive, "CLSID", Clsids()

In each of the , ====== main loopings, each Clsid is listed in one column, and then that same Clsid is further used to get other column outputs, (if they are available, "at the Clsid") :
https://i.postimg.cc/k2ghHnYw/Other-Info-at-Clsid.jpg (https://postimg.cc/k2ghHnYw)https://i.postimg.cc/NLwtzH64/Other-Info-at-Clsid.jpg (https://postimg.cc/NLwtzH64)

Rem 3 InprocServer32 ' This seems to be the .dll or similar file
Rem 4 ProgID - see Mike here https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=326247#p326247 - ProgID is [Library].[Object]
Rem 5 Version number held "at the Clsid"
Rem 6 TypeLib Guid if there is one held "at the Clsid"
Rem 7 Try to make an object type with Obj = CreateObject("New:" & { The Clsid } & "") , then, if successful try to do a TypeName(LateBndObj) on that object

( In the previous codings from a year or 4 ago, we did just the
ProgID from Mike
, and the
Try to make an object type with Obj = CreateObject("New:" & { The Clsid } & "") , then, if successful try to do a TypeName(LateBndObj) on that object from me
The results were similar. )

So far the coding discussed is a slightly more detailed info getting version of the previous Clsid codings.

But there is one further important new part of this coding:
'6b - we investigate the specific TypeLib Guid , (if there was one at the Clsid) , at the place where the full TypeLib Guid list is. We expect that the TypeLib Guid will mostly be there but we investigate if there are other more than one version, as well as comparing the actual version numbers there with that of Rem 5 Version number held "at the Clsid"
