I suggest your requirements are pretty specific, so instead of using the
makepy function you should be looking at the implementation of that
function, and using the raw pythoncom calls.

for example, you will probably find all you need is:

tlb = pythoncom.LoadTypeLib(path_to_dll)
c = tlb.GetLibAttr()

If these functions fail for your OCX, then hopefully the COM error will give
you the details of exactly why.

Hope this helps...
