Has anyone successfully interfaced with COM components?

I'm looking to 'purchase' and interface with this word database for a word game: http://wordweb.info/developer/features.html "WordWeb Developer's easy to use components allow you to add great thesaurus/dictionary functionality to your applications. The COM components can be used from Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual Studio .NET, Delphi, C++ Builder, and others. You can also access the database directly, so you can obtain return word types, synonyms, definitions, etc, programmatically. The Delphi Source Edition comes with full source code and native Delphi/C++ Builder components for full database access."

Since BMax uses DX it should be possible. Worst case you could do a Visual C++ DLL to interface it if all else fails :)

you might want to check out what you can do with open office like this, its getting very near to word but with less 'purchase' ;)
