I have a third-party legacy application that requires the VB6 Active X EXE library interface. I want to upgrade the VB6 Active X EXE library to the currently supported language. Since the legacy host application is third-party, I have no way to change the host API for an interface other than ActiveX EXE. Is there currently supported Microsoft IE x86 language C ++, C ++ / CLI, C # or VB.NET that can create the equivalent of an ActiveX EXE interface?
I suspect the answer is no, but I want to find the final answer. In order for any legacy host application that uses the ActiveX EXE library to be modified to allow the use of supported languages and tools. Basically, confirmation that ActiveX EXE is actually an unsupported API.
I have already considered this similar question , and one could deduce from it that the answer is no, but there is no final answer. I also looked at this Microsoft tutorial and from what I can say it talks about updating the host application, which is not an option in this case. The tutorial talks about switching to the ActiveX DLL, but I understand that this will require a change third-party host application. Again, this is not an option in my case. I need something that looks like an ActiveX EXE library for a host.
