VB-ZOOM Visual Basic Implementation

Thomas Habing's VB-ZOOM project is an ActiveX COMponent, written in Visual Basic, implementing version 1.2 of the ZOOM API.

It is built on top of Index Data's low-level YAZ Toolkit.

VB-ZOOM is available for free download from SourceForge at sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=53790

The Visual Basic Binding is in fact far more powerful than it first appears. Because Visual Basic 6 automatically produces two interfaces per object (one for the object itself and an IDispatch in addition) the resultant COM object in the DLL is also a C++, VB Script, Javascript and Delphi binding. Indeed since one can connect Java to COM one could also use the thing in a Java environment. Of course only on Windows!
