I think I have done this at one time by:
Place the ocx in a class of your own.
Add the class during the Init wrapped in a Try/Catch.
It adds an extra level to the hierarchy.

Subject: Re: Error instantiating class when opening a form
Timely question! I just had this happen to a client last Thursday. App has
been working for years, but they called to say it suddenly doesn't work
with a "Cannot load class" type of error.
After some troubleshooting we determined the issue was their MSP's security
software determined that RichTxt32.ocx was malicious and blocked it. It
would have been nice if the app could catch that particular error and load
the form without those controls present rather that fail altogether. It may
cause deleterious side effects though. I may give this some thought...
