For development with the OptQuest Developer Kit, you can use any development environment that supports the use of Microsoft COM components. Such an environment lets you use VB6, VBA (supplied with Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel), C++, ASP, and similar COM-compatible languages (you will still need the Microsoft .NET Framework). To access the OptQuest Developer Kit, you must reference the COM object named CBCOMDevKit, which is registered on your computer during the installation.
