type library for IShellFolder2 ?

Hello,

most of the time, I can get away by not knowing com,  but now I would need
to create a wrapper for IShellFolder2, and probably for some of its friends
later. My understanding is that safest route would be to use type library
and AXTypeLibraryAnalyzer to generate a wrapper. Does anyone have such type
library, or advice where to look for one? Also any other advice on creating
this wrapper would be more than welcommed by this humble com ignorant ;)

I am still looking for typelibrary I could use for IShellFolder2, so I tried
to poke around IEnumIDList. I have located typelib for it and AX wizards
generated me a wrapper as a subclass of IUnknown.

Anyway dolphin has IEnumXXX class, and various enum classes seem to inherit
from there so I guess  my IEnumIDList should also go there. Those classes
seem to be written by hand, generally only overiding class methods
elementClass and defineFunctions. So probably all I need to do is add a
subclass to IEnumXXX and define those two methods. Do I also need to poke
around class guid? is it ok just to tell it:

IEnumIDList guid: (IID fromString:
'{000214F2-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}' ) "got this magic number from idl."

p.s. I have noticed that only IEnumRect does not have defineFunctions
overided, is that on purpose or omission?

Yep, these are created by hand because if you simply auto-generate them
there is nothing to share the obvious similarity. Of course in a statically
typed language one IEnumXXX really isn't like another, but in Smalltalk we
don't care so much about the argument types.

Yes, that's all you need to do to set it up to have the right interface
identifier.

It's a very old sample (an implementation of a sample in the classic OLE2
book), so probably an omission.
