Creating object model diagrams

[Pete]

Hi. I've seen a couple of apps and/or dev tools to allow Visio to generate
diagrams automatically. None of these fit my need though, so I though I'd ask
this question: Does anyone know of a product or addin that will generate
object model diagrams from an ActiveX/COM type library? In my minds eye I
imagine opening a wizard in Visio that needs a reference to the .tlb or .dll
file to document, then Visio generates the appropriate (potentially very
large) object model chart. I know how I would go about coding this but I'm
surprised not to find such a product out there - for Visio or otherwise...
comments? Ideas? Thanks.

One of the guys in my group wrote this "Type Library Diagrammer" years ago
when we were at Visio Corp. We used to have it on our web site.

You can download it here: www.wanderkind.com/visio/omd.zip

The zip file contains a .VST Visio Template that contains VBA code.
You should be able to get a good feeling for Visio development from this
code.
