I do not think so... Dcom is for calling Ole automation servers, but not controls. They provide services accross the network, but they can't be used for user interfece.

OCX is a DLL, an inproc server. I haven't tried it but try registering it from a remote machine before displaying. You will not be using DCOM as you may not be able to set DCOM access permissions for inproc server. But if you have read access to the directory on remote machine where OCX is located I think you can do it.
