I know that an out of process server can have a visual interface- but how could t be controlled from an outside client?

I am not disputing as much as asking...

In my testing, (and I could be doing something wrong here) when I specify a form as OLEPublic in a project and then compile that project as an EXE, the form is available, but any COM call to any function that gives a user interface results in the EXE receiving and not returning control, and never making itself visible.

How is this done?
