It's possible that variable designates a slideshow list. Then again,
maybe not. That's the trouble with "self-discoverable COM. It's
really not. You need docs. (Zoom also takes a parameter
iSelectCount.)
Also note, Show takes a variant but ShowFile takes
a string and long. It should work to send the values as
CStr(x), CLng(y) but it won't work if it's expecting a
null-delineated string.
Have you tried Irfan View? :)
With typelibs, I like the VB object viewer or my own
parser. But there's also the OLE-COB object viewer if
you have VS and like a verbose presentation. But that
basically just reconstitutes the typelib as an IDL file,
which is not very easily readable. I've only used it a
handful of times, to double-check an entry.
