Can you mix another language in with VB?

[Mr. N00bie]

Is there ANY way to, say, use Java to get network information, and use VB for the GUI and everything else. VB is insanely complex when it comes to network capabilities, and Java is not =) Any way to mix would be GREAT. I am doubting this though. Wouldnt make sense..

Now wasnt that a dumb question?

I doubt you can do it with pure Java but you can make COM components using Visual J++ and with C++ you can make COM componenets/activeX/plain DLLs for use with Visual Basic

Since VB programs can only run on windows so using VJ++ should not be a problem

someone set up us the bomb!

probably that's the only way to do it, but it is not easy. Usually that's done bcoz more than 1 programmer / team is working on a huge project and divide up into COM is easier.
