VB6 also had a COM API browser thing that was remarkably similar to a Smalltalk browser.
VB 6 is still the best COM experience from Microsoft, .NET went too down level, and C++ has always been clunky.
I don't remember that browser though, aren't you mixing it with type library navigation tool from the Windows SDK?
I might have been misremembering, because I thought there was a three-pane browser and this one is two-pane, but I think this is what I meant: https://files.catbox.moe/0sdvpz.png (View > Object Browser or F2).
Ah ok! I completly forgot about that one, thanks for correcting me.
I ended up doing some digging after your comment, and figure 2 is the one I remebered, yours is also there as figure 1.
