Sorry, I have noticed this problem, but not fixed yet.

FYI, You can get Navigate information from typelibrary name (Microsoft
Internet Controls).

  require 'win32ole'
  WIN32OLE_TYPE.ole_classes('Microsoft Internet Controls').each do |c|
    c.ole_methods.sort{|m1, m2|
      m1.name <=> m2.name
    }.each do |m|
      puts m.name
      m.params.each do |p|
        print "  " + p.ole_type + " " + p.name
        pinfo = []
        pinfo.push "in" if p.input?
        pinfo.push "out" if p.output?
        pinfo.push "optional" if p.optional?
        print "[" + pinfo.join(",") + "]" if !pinfo.empty?
        print "(= #{p.default})" if p.default
        puts "\n"
      end
    end
  end

The sample/olegen.rb creates more detail information.

I use the latest version(0.4.8.1) of Win32OLE ;-)
