FIX & Visual Basic?

During the process of trying to learn FIX, I’ve implemented the elements of an object oriented FIX engine in VB6.

My question is: rather than trying to re-invent the square wheel, is there an off the shelf ActiveX control that I can buy and then simply drag and drop onto a VB form in order to have a FIX engine? If not is there anything else I can use with VB6 or VB.NET? Please feel free to email me at efriis@sprintmail.com

Thanks in advance for any pointers!

Eric,

I do not know if this will meet your requirement however, we have an ActiveX/COM control available for our C++ engine on NT4/2000.

If required I will mail the code to you for evaluation.
