Remarks

Use CreateObject to create non-visible ActiveX controls at run time. You cannot use CreateObject to create graphical objects such as a TreeView control or a ListView control. CreateObject produces objects that cannot respond to events. To produce objects that can respond to events, use the CreateObjectWithEvents function. The following table lists the ProgIDs for the ActiveX controls without events.
