Question, can you use ActiveXs and DLLs that are for VB in a C++ program also? For example .ocx files.
If so, how would you do it?
I don't think you can use an .ocx for other languages other than VB because of the nature of how they are created. As far as I know, a .dll can be used with any language if you properly use it.

ocx files
are dll files.
Yes, they should be able to be used in any application supporting COM.

I never knew that. I always assumed .ocx files were specific .dll-like files designed and engineered for the Visual Basic development environment.
