Creating Controls For VB in Visual C++

[rjr9999]

Is it possible for me to create a control for VB in Visual C++? If so, will I be able to pass info to and from that control?

Yes it's possible (it's how most of the standard Microsoft controls were built).

Look up ATL in a COM reference.

I've done it, but only for non-visual controls. Lets just say I learned a lot, and leave it at that.

I made an ActiveX OCX in Visual C++(a button that plays sounds- wav files if you put them in a specified directories).

It worked, but as chiph sais you have to learn a lot in order to make special thinks.
Also you have to learn about Automation, COM. (ATL is not compulsory).
If you make an ActiveX OCX in VC++ you will have to use MFC.
There is something that will ease up your work though: the Class Wizard.

Hope this helps,
