OLE Container Close and CreateEmbed methods

Hi there,

I've got an OLE Container control on the main form of my VB App. I've also got a button control that I've written ( as an OCX). I've gotten the OLE container to create and display my button control via the "CreateEmbed" method, and I can then interface with the buttons via the "object" member of the OLE control. The OLE container is using late-binding to the button control, the project does not have any references to the button control ( because the implementation of the button control could change, or I might want to create a different button control via a different ProgID).

My problem is that at run-time I may want to unload the button control from the OLE container and then use a different ProgID to create a different kind of button control inside the OLE container. When I try to do this:



' OLE_Btn already contains a working button control

OLE_Btn.Close ' close existing button control
OLE_Btn.CreateEmbed "", "Btn.Btn" ' create new button




and then interface with the OLE_Btn.Object, it blows up with an error that says "Object variable or With block variable not set". As an experiment, I first create a Btn.Btn object, it worked fine, then tried to close it and create another Btn.Btn object, but it still blew up.
Am I supposed to use something other than the Close method? I tried the Delete method in OLE Container but that still produces the same error.

Thanks,
Aaron

Nevermind...

It works fine if I remember to initialize the object after creating it.

Thanks anyway all...
