I want to create a DotNet Interop .dll to host in a VB6 app.
I want it to be just a Texbox control with the "Text" property exposed.
I need the Unicode capabiliteis of the .NET control.
Can this be done so the VB6 app can be the parent to the DotNet control?
I haven't been able to do this. I can create the DotNet control and
instantiate it in
VB6 but it doesn't show. I want to draw it on a VB6 form like a VB6 ocx.

COM is supported but as far as i know ActiveX isn`t so i guess you are
fighting a lost war

I guess you could just show an .Net winform encapsulated in a COM dll , or
you could drop the winows GUI in VB6 and go for a HTML interface instead
as the webbrowser is Unicode compatible i did this in VB6 because we had
German, Finnish , Russian , Romanian , and even Greek customers and my
project was one source compiled with conditional compilation for every
customer ( example of such a GUI
