There is a demo app at the top left corner of the page. For both vb5, and vb6.
It is contains a class that you can use easily.

There is a solution to all errors.

But, before a solution can be arrived at we need to know what is causing the problem.

What line of code is doing this?

ActiveX Components cant create object runtime error '429'

That error occurs, if you just forget to register a dll or an ocx that the application is want to use.

In that example, the ssubtmr6.dll is that is may missing. Just register it, then restart vb6 ide, the component should work now.
