No. At least not in the conventional way. You'd have to fiddle with the User32.dll and even then I'm not sure it's possible.

STYX official plugin page states -

COM, ActiveX, .NET

Commands in this section allow you to load COM, ActiveX or .NET DLLs (and one of their classes). Once loaded you can create new instances, call COM functions, check for the existence of COM classes, register DLLs and set/get values.

So how come buying STYX can help me creating COM (Server/Client) objects ?

Secondly, does anybody know of any BASIC compiler / language using which I can create COM (server/client) objects ?

He said MatrixUtils can help in COM development. So I want to see where it is written.

When? Where?

I can confirm STYX allows fiddling with COM calls and setting them in conjunction with an ActiveX/COM DLL

Well, mrValentine said: "try MatrixUtils", he didn't say: "yes, MatrixUtils has that feature", so it was more of a suggestion to have a look because MatrixUtils has a lot of cool stuff so he thought maybe even COM
