It depends on what you mean with 'whole interface'. The codetools can give
you the information ranging from names to code with comments. There are
alone 5 flags to define how much information to retrieve from a parameter
list.
Can you give an example, what you need?
See the codeexplorer for an example for iterating through the codetree.

This will load a unit source, parse it, search the class in the interface
and jumps to the method body (after the 'begin'):
Code:=CodeToolBoss.LoadFile('/full/path/to/unit1.pas',false,false);
CodeToolBoss.JumpToPublishedMethodBody(Code,'TForm1','OnClick',NewCode,NewX
,NewY,NewTopLine);
Don't let you confuse by the 'Published' word. It does not search in
ancestor classes for the method. If the method belongs to an ancestor class,
it gets more complicated.
