I'm looking at migrating a messaging client application to a class so that it can be used as a COM/ActiveX object. And I'm new to COM. So, I have two initial questions that I'm hoping the COM gurus can help me with.
1. The PB help files indicate that the DUAL interface is the only one which should be used if the methods will be used by a non-PB language. Is this still correct? I'm not sure which languages require a DISPATCH interface.
2. If DUAL is the way to go, is this the correct way to wrap the class?
Advice is always welcomed.

Code:
$ClassGUID = GUID$("{14EC6DEF-1BB8-416C-9171-471110ED27B8}")
$IfaceGUID = GUID$("{DE0AFF33-D092-477A-92CB-32579362A0B4}")
CLASS MyClass $ClassGUID AS COM
INTERFACE MyInterface $IfaceGUID
INHERIT DUAL
METHOD MyMethod <1> (BYVAL x AS LONG) AS LONG
METHOD = x + 1
END METHOD
END INTERFACE
END CLASS
