David, your message reminded me that Mark Hammond, one of the main, if 
not the main expert on this topic wrote, "Python's COM support does not 
support fully-fledged controls. The win32comext/axcontrol directory is 
the start of work in this direction, and supports many of the interfaces 
needed." I googled to find that he wrote that about 6 May (and you 
might want to read the rest of that thread). I'm curious about what your 
control will do. Would it be possible to say? - Bill
