Can COM-objects be used in a thread?

[Olaf Trygve Berglihn]

I'd like to make a thread work on a COM-object created by the main
thread. Is this possible? Can the COM-object be passed to the thread
and function properly there?

I vaguely remember that somebody posted a message about this, saying
it is not possible for a thread to host a COM-object as the main
thread is not dispatching Windows messages to it.
