You must travel in the Registry.

(1) Goto "\TypeLib" under "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT"
(2) Do "GetKeyNames" to a stringlist
(3) Do a loop under "\TypeLib" and open each list members like this

Kod: Tümünü seç

        if Reg.OpenKey('\TypeLib\'+Trim(slList[idx]), False) then ...

- Now you are in a registry folder like this : "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TypeLib\{BB599B3B-6C2D-4F1B-A8C4-A354B712A0B9}"
(4) Try to open this key '1.0\0\win32'
(5) if success get first string value to a variable and ask if there is ".OCX" extension. İf exists then take it on a result list.

Now you can do search in result list which is outside the "c:\windows" path..
