ActiveX control in python vs ActiveX control in vb 6 (piece of code)

[vml]

Hello,

I am trying to mograte from vb 6 to python.

I have a very usefull AX control. It can be :
-just a bitmap
-an active picture where you can plot data and put cursors
-a data explorer

Those 3 behavior are driven by one property in visual studio when you
insert the AX control in a form: the property ModuleName:
-'default' for bitmap
-'Picture' for a picture



I try to insert this AX control in a wxpython based application (I
used one of the example delivered with wx) but when I try to change
the property to get an active picture it does not work and display me
the default bitmap


Here is the pice of code

I suspect that the activex control is bugged .... but how to know that
since it is working perfectly under visual studio vb 6 but not with
python ?
