Creating a UI as an ActiveX/Com

Could I create a nice interface using C# forms and compile it as an
ActiveX control to be using in other languages? The interface options
in C# are much nicer (and most importantly less work) than the
language the core of my application is written in (VFP 9) and I would
like to update the look of the application without having to hack
VFP's outdated UI.

Thanks,

CJ
