QuestionDo VB ActiveX DLLs have to be so hard to use? Pin

Hi
For a while now I've been looking for a image manipulation/processing control/DLL to add to our software. The three which have made it to my shortlist are VB Active DLLs. While writing some test applications I've noticed how much more difficult it is to write software for these in VC++ compared to VB. In particular:

1/ What takes 1 line of code in VB can take 10 or more in VC++, in setting up the correct argument types to pass to a function (eg SAFEARRAY, BSTR)
2/ Often having to pass all arguments to a function because VC++ doesn't seem to recognize default arguments?
3/ Having multiple pointers to the COM interface. eg. _ImagePtr, _ImageEffectsPtr, _ImageExportPtr, etc.
4/ A general decrease in software stability...

- Is there anyway to do this stuff with less stress in VC++? If not, is there anyway I can do this in a separate VB app and communicate with my software?
- From my limited experience ActiveX controls seem to be easier to use than VB ActiveX DLLs. Is there anyway to convert from the latter to the former? What is the point of ActiveX DLLs?

Thanks for your patience in reading my often confused ramblings Smile | :)

Regards

Brendan
