The wizard is only able to deduce the CLSID to be associated with an
interface when that interface is listed as the "default" interface for
precisely one instantiable coclass. If there is no such information in the
type library, then the #clsid method is not generated. In this case it
appears that only one of the classes in the typelibrary is marked as
instantiable/creatable (that is the typeinfo for the coclass has the
attribute TYPEFLAG_FCANCREATE - see MSDN for further details on that if
interested), hence only one clsid method. This is presumably an error in the
type library (which seems to have been generated by VB), but you can
manually add the clsid methods - just pull the uuid's associated with the
coclasses at the end of the IDL; either use the wizard to 'Browse IDL', or
use Microsoft's OLEVIEW tool) out and create appropriate #clsid methods like
this:
!Nws_Nntp class methodsFor!
clsid
^CLSID fromString: '{2655045D-7AAC-432E-82DB-D55D81ED6920}'! !
!Nws_Nntp class categoriesFor: #clsid!constants!public! !
Here I've generated the interfaces with an Nws prefix. The object does seem
to be creatable by the way, so have fun...
