Hi Yuri,

Yes, all ActiveX controls run in there own windows. You can use SetFocus method of there olecontainer to activate particular ActiveX. For example,

Thisform.oRtf.SetFocus()
oShell = Createobject("wscript.shell")
oShell.SendKeys([^V])

will paste clipboard into RTF control the same as WM_PASTE message.
