You can use VB.NET to create controls that can be used in MFC and Internet
Explorer, however, VB6 as host environment ist not supported:

ActiveX control containers that support .NET controls

Ok Herfried thank for the link.
All my client PCs are using IE6+, so according to it thre should be no
problems, right?
Other question: I have to use SharpZipLib library in my control to
acheive what I need. Maybe the question is stupid, but i've never tried
to write custom controls, so how to add this library to my control?
Should it be done automatically, when referenced in my project?
