Can an ActiveX Control be a .NET Remoting server to a C# app?

dotnet remoting:
I am trying to implement a solution for integrating with a third party
web browser application (call it appB). This third party supports "web
plug ins", meaning we can embed a page in their app, and that page can
contain an ActiveX control. This control would allow communication
between our application (call it appA) and appB. AppA would use
remoting to communicate with the ActiveX control, the control would
fire events that the page would handle via scripts.

I am familiar with remoting using C#, but I haven't dealt with C++,
which is necessary in this case, because we must build an ActiveX
control, and that's not possible with C#. So, I have found sample C++
remoting servers, but they are all Exe's. I just want to make sure
before I spend a lot of time, that this *should* theoretically work.

You could host a .NET Winform Control in IE - in essence an ActiveX object
but written in .NET. I've used such a control to send remoting calls back
to the server. Some security permissions need ot be changed (FullTrust if
calls are going to servers not the originating server... but it seems
