AFAIK, visual ActiveX components have to be in-process (i.e. implemented in
a DLL rather than an EXE) so it is not possible to create them with Dolphin
4. However, Dolphin 5 will have the ability to create in process DLL
components. However, there are a number of interfaces that a control must
support to be treated as a visual component and we don't currently have any
framework support for these so you would have to write this yourself.

So the answer to you question is that it should be possible in version 5 but
probably not trivial.
