I know we can get IAccessible of an object by first declaring a variable of type IAccessible and set it to the object we want the interface from, but that requires a reference to a TypeLib in VBE menu -> Tools ->References.
Wondering if we can do that without reference and with API only. Ideally we don't want to have to reference TypeLib for IUnknown either.
The following is what I've got so far (didn't get to sleep last night just for this):
Code in UserForm module with a textbox named "TextBox1" on it
WARNING: The above code will crash Excel for sure...DO NOT run it directly.
Don't know what have I done wrong, or is there any better way to get the IAccessible without "type" other than "Object".
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
