Dear All,
I am looking for documentation on what Objects, Properties, Methods and Events are available from using "kixtart.system" and "kixforms.system"
The kixforms.chm file is version 2.46 and does not mention any of the graphics drawing stuff. e.g. drawwidth, line, rectangle, circle, image. And some events are missing like OnKeyUp.

Is there a script available that can enumerate all of the above Objects, Properties etc available from kixtart.dll and kixforms.dll please?

Regards,

.net version should have up to date chm always with it.

the 2.xx builds were lagging on that department and for documentation in my recollection people were pointed to com object browser/viewer

Thanks Lonkero,
the .net chm is a long list of Classes and not laid out like previous kixtart chms.
The syntax of .net is also quite different, I think, from 2.xx builds.
I've looked at asteroids.kix and KixPixasoPainter.kix to get an idea of what is available.
Can you recommend an Object Browser/Viewer that is easy to install please?
Or would I have to install Visual Studio Express 2013, or similar, to get it.
Regards,

As I've only got Windows 7, I cannot install Visual Studio Express 2013.
I'm looking at VSE 2010.

From Microsoft Technet, I've found with Powershell I can do:-

$kix = new-object -comobject kixtart.system
$kix | get-member

and

$kixf = new-object -comobject kixforms.system
$kixf | get-member

There are still some things not listed, such as "line" and "circle"
But it gives me some more ideas of what's available.

oleview.exe available from the Windows 7 Resource Kit doesn't seem to display much kixtart stuff, only the usage of kixtart.application

Any more info would be appreciated.

Cheers for now,

open typelibraries and scroll to kixforms, right click, select view
