Finding cwbx.dll (iSeries ActiveX Automation Objects) documentation on Windows 7

The real problem here is that IBM doesn't put this documentation online, but the help files are installed along with the iSeries Client Tools. If you look around a bit, you'll end up with some directions like:

IBM System i Access for Windows > Programmer's Toolkit > Programmer's Toolkit

Which is technically supposed to open up a windows help file with the reference you're after. Unfortunately, Windows 7 can't open up .hlp files out of the box, so you have to download WinHlp32.exe:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/917607

So now you can open help files, but the Programmer's Toolkit still doesn't work - none of the links actually yield the intended behavior of opening up other .hlp files.

Finally, just give up and open the following file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Client Access\MRI2924\cwbx.hlp

Navigating this thing is a pretty horrible experience, but the information you're after is in there. Ok, the information I was after was in there, but it's certainly a step in the right direction. Good luck!

And to answer the inevitable question "Where can I find cwbx.dll?" You can't download it, it's part of your installation media (so check w/ your sys admin).
