It's possible to go half way, and it can be quite useful.


Buy (are they still available?) or write (like we did) a CORBA to
ActiveX proxy generator. Make your not-quite-VB understand CORBA.
Now you can play with ActiveX controls (non-visual only, that's where
the "half" comes in). As a side benefit, it opens up your
not-quite-VB to CORBA, so you can do RPC to the entire non-MS world.
