Is it possible for an imported COM DLL server to be seen as an object in the 'TOOLS PALETTE' ?
Thanks.

Yes, but you need to know something about how to create components and interfaces.
I think this page on About.com should get you started.
It is possible someone already wrote a Delphi interface unit for the COM object you want to use. I would spend a little time on Google before writing my own stuff.
Good Luck.

Thanks for the links I will check them out...
I already created COM object in C++ and it was successfully imported in DELPHI. The interface methods are recognized in the code and they do work, but they are nowhere to be found in the TOOLS PALETTE.

The solution was to build ActiveX control not COM server.
