Finding the Excel MIDL file ...

[Russell Potter]

Does anyone know a URL where I could download a copy
of the Excel MIDL file?. I'm sure it must exist _somewhere_

I wanted to create, and do some custom processing on,
a spreadsheet from C (why I haven't done so in VB makes for
a _very_ long story, and I didn't want to tempt those wanting
to turn this thread into a "C vs. VB " religious flame war by
explaining my reasoning for doing so), but, thinking it best to
do so using direct "vtbl" access, rather than the "IDispatch"
interface, I first need the prototypes for the "vtbl" structures
that I believe are created as a by-product of MIDL
compilation, but I don't know where to find the MIDL file
I need to compile ...

LOL If you find that answer over here, more power to you man...

From that answer it sounds like you're insinuating I'm asking this question
in
the wrong newsgroup (am I?). call me crazy, but asking an Excel question in
an Excel programming newsgroup sounded sensible to me (at the time, at
least) ...

Or , is that just perhaps just a roundabout way of saying "No. I don't
know a URL where the Excel MIDL file is located"?

And, BTW, what does "LOL" mean? I must be bit behind on my
'net slang ...

(I have no idea where to find that file.)
