Yes.

Surfer can be completely controlled by any Automation-capable programming language, including Visual Basic, Visual Basic for Applications (that ships with the Microsoft Office suite), or the Scripter programming language included with SurferScripter is very similar to VBA.   Most modern compilers include some facility for calling Automation-capable applications, including Visual C++.  Check your language documentation for Automation or Active-X Automation support.  See the following files included with Surfer:

Client.cpp - Example code for automating Surfer from C++.
Script4.js - Example script using JScript with the Windows Script Host.
Script5.vbs - Example script using VBScript with the Windows Script Host.

The directory for these files is the \Samples\ directory under the main Surfer directory, which defaults to "c:\Program Files\Golden Software\Surfer\Samples\".
