dunno how many of you kids use this but... if you stevie read this.
clicking browse after initial browse does not result in browse&show but it only shows the old cached info. thus, if you register a dll again, you need to exit from the app and startup again. for one time this is not so bad but been doing this for some days now and... you know, getting tired of clicking the mouse.

IIRC, I thought that caching the information would be the best way to go so. I can add a refresh button to the browse list, that sounds better than refreshing each time the browse list is displayed.

It is locked since the file is open and being actively read. Each time you select something from either column, new information needs to be read in from the type library. If it's a real problem, there are 2 solutions:
1 - Connect, read the typelib info and then disconnect for each call
2 - Parse all the typelib information from the beginning so that the file is not reopened/locked again.
The only problem with that is that it could introduce a significant delay before opening. I'll have to run some tests and see what kind of delay we're talking about.
Just reviewed the code and it is retrieving the list fresh each time the browse dialog is displayed.
Register works as expected...unregister does not. Try to reproduce my results:
-Launch the app -Open browse window -Close browse window (keep app open) -Register your favorite dll -Open browse window (the entry should now be there) -Close browse window -Unregister the dll -Open browse window (entry will still be there)
Don't know why this is. I'll keep checking. I'll bet you a million dollars it's my problem.
