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
