@timob256 said in How to include a COM tlb library in my console project:

kAPI5.tlb

What is this? Doesn't look like a proper C/C++ header file.

Hi, .tlb-files cannot be added to your project via an #include.
One way is to use Qt's dumpcpp utility, for example:
C:\Qt\5.15.2\msvc2019\bin\dumpcpp C:\Program Files\ASCON\KOMPAS-3D v20\Bin\kAPI5.tlb"

then with a bit of luck you'll have 2 new files: kAPI5.h and kAPI5.cpp, Add these files to your project. And then try #include the kAPI5.h file in your main.cpp.
