If there are provisions for compiling ActiveX Controls/Gadgets in PB it would be really nice and would give the programming community of PB a change to tap into the most lucrative market of ActiveX programming where many a companies like ComponentOne, FarPoint, Infragistic, etc. are minting money.... coz we VB developers are never good at low level programming :( .

The greatest advantage from developers point is that PB developers will get a change to build and sell ActiveX controls and if possible Unmanaged .NET components.

Of course if this feature cannot be implemented right into PB then Fred should develope a library which will allow one to build ActiveX and/or .NET components. Hi! Fred here you can sell that library separately as a standlone product & increase your income also.... :D .

I would request all those developers who want to earn big money from PB to request for this feature....

Is that a goal?

Nope it is not a goal. I am just thinking that adding these features would surely attract more developers to PB over a period of time. After all the easier a development language is the more developers will adopt it. Look at VB for example, it broke all records of compiler selling. Delphi closely followed VB and we know that today Delphi is also very widely user Programming Language esp. in Europe (except in UK).
