Aha, thanks. My apologies for asking questions that have been answered before... Perhaps I'll try searching a little more first next time.

How do I kill this? I've tried a few of the terms and releases but nothing has worked.
I want to be able to kill/destroy DVM04 and recreate it with the same var name.

Thanks!

How could I possibly know? Why don't you ask the author of this third-party control?

I just figured that there would be a function to destroy a created ActiveX object, in a generic way.

I can fully control the options within the created object DVM04, however once created and placed on a GUI the object is 'always on top' and despite my best efforts nothing can go on top one of these objects once created; the reason I want to be able to destroy them.

I hope these tidbits give a little more insight. Thanks

is there a visibile property?
you could also move the control out of the gui there by exposing underneath controls

Think carefully about what tank said implies. There already is a function to handle the case.

The API doesn't have a visible property unfortunately.

My temp fix was to cancel the GUI and create another, and simply revert back to the original GUI whenever I needed.

I hadn't thought about simply moving them. TY for the tip will test that out

how to alter the attibute ,such as l, t, w, h, of a container created by COM_AtlAxCreateContainer?

And is there a way to create a text control with transparent backgroud color above the com activex object?

And the object added by COM_AtlAxCreateContainer can not be redrawed automatically when minimizing first and then maximizing again. You can have a try

ControlMove.
You said that to me? What for? Am I the author of AtlAxWin? Anyway, what's the problem? You can manage it yourself. I already showed one way to solve the issue somewhere in the forum, again using ControlMove. You just seem to never try to solve a problem yourself. I may better not answer your questions afterwards.

You know, I am just a noob and a busy doctor who have just known a little vb learned by myself and not touched VC. All of the threads you published here are new for me. In fact , I have not known AtlAxWin, COM, WMI, ADO and so on before reading your threads, and I have not known COM can realize my ideas so easily. And my native language is not English, so it's not so easy for me to understand English documents deeply. What's more, you supply a lot of useful and amazing functions almost without comments and documents, even without remarks in the thread.
But it's just the beginning for me and everything is becoming better. I have begun to search MSDN to slove some simply problems by myself. For example, now I can tell Rad777 the solution for his puzzle:

But I have still not found the solution for my problem that if the activex control is hosted in a child window created by COM_AtlAxCreateContainer, after minimizing the gui and maximizing it again, the control interface can not be displayed unitl you move or scroll mouse over it. If the control is hosted in the main gui window by COM_AtlAxCreateControl(hGui, Name), it's ok. I found this case in Excel and am not sure the other Activex. I don't know I should ascribe the blame to AtlAxWin or COM or Excel or myself.

At all, thanks for your efforts to the forum and your patience although you seem to become out of patiece for me:)
Forgive my poor english.

I guess I became sick and tired of answering some posts, which didn't provide enough/full info/code, and/or refused to follow my instructions while asking my help. My bad.

Is there a translated/updated version of MSCOMM32.OCX available?

No, it's pointless now.

What would you suggest for communication between an AHK script and a virtual com port then?
The kind that would make Bluetooth communication possible
