Thank you David! I really appreciate the offer. For now, I'm most interested in the interfaces you mentioned not being available in the ActiveX control. I eventually want to create an XPCOM wrapper using Java by taking advantage of the JSword code.

Again, I thank you for the help!

Has anyone attempted to create a Sword application using Visual Basic? Or at least, does anyone know how one might do so? I would like to set references to the Sword API and use VB to create a front end. In the end, I'm mostly interested in bridging the cap between the Sword API and Mozilla's Gecko engine. They have an easy to use ActiveX control I can use in VB. This is the only reason I would even imagine doing a Sword front end in VB. I plan to eventually migrate to using Java as an XPCOM bridge between the Sword API (actually JSword) and Mozilla's Gecko engine. This would allow me to make the front end cross platform. But I want to create a proof of concept using VB first. Any help is appreciated.

I have already experimented with the Mozilla ActiveX control (in C++, not VB). There are some interfaces that are not implemented in the control that would need to be available to provide the current functionality available in BibleCS. I have not attempted to learn anything about XPCOM, but it would be a more direct approach and most likely all of the needed interfaces would probably be exposed through it.

If you continue to work with the control, and run into any problems let me know and I will help you in anyway I can.
