Q: Is it possible to use DirectX with VB, if so how?

A: As of version 6 Visual Basic does not provide native access to 
DirectX. Generally VB`ers resort to third party controls to provide 
this functionality. If you check out the Game Programming section of 
this site you will find links to a free type library by Patrice Scribe 
that provides access to some of the DirectX features. You`ll also find 
links to other DirectX resources you may find useful.

Microsoft is currently beta testing DirectX 7.0 which will include
language support for VB. Expected release date was originally later
this month. You can check out the official <a HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/directx/developer/information/vb.asp" target="_top">Microsoft DirectX</a> site
for the current status of this much anticipated update.
