Using .NET UI Controls from inside VB6.0

I need to use/call the .NET UI Controls from inside VB6.0. Can the .NET Controls included in M Studio be enabled with COM interop to expose them to COM languages like VB6?

.NET UI controls for VB6 are available as a part of our Legacy Measurement Studio Environment. Please see link below for more information.

Our .NET controls were not designed with the intent of being used for VB6 applications however, it may be possible using the Microsoft Interop Forms Toolkit.

Angelica,

Thank you so much for your response; it is very helpful. Is it "necessary" to have the Visual Studio development environment or will a standalone VB6.0 development environment (alongwith the Microsoft Interop Forms Toolkit) be adequate?

According to the System Requirements of the Microsoft Interop Forms Toolkit, you need to install the .NET Framework 2.0, Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio 2008, or Visual Studio 2010 (Standard Edition or higher), and Visual Basic 6.
