[python-win32] ActiveX components with Events

[Hihn, Jason]

I will attempt to use my psychic powers and read into this situation
more than you have told.

That ActiveX is coded in VB, hence the OCX. The VB is calling
form.show(). I bet (if all previous assumptiona are correct) that you
could fix the subliminal message by calling form.load()

I will stop now before people start thinking that I am proud of knowing
VB.
