I think that strictly, it's not that "they can't be done", but they can't be 
done because nobody made those tools or components for VB Classic.

But if VB is reborn, all those tools start to appear (as long as there is a 
market in the case of enterprise products or enough interest in the case of 
free-open source projects)

PS: we are following here some discussion from the group 
microsoft.public.vb.general.discussion, of the thread ".Net-free VB6 Forum
