Does anyone know a solution in VB6 how to create a Tabbed MDI child window without displaying it until a special function is called ?

I have child window which contains a network connection component (ActiveX) and I only want to display the tabbed child window when the component was able to establish a connection !
Otherwise I want to display a messagebox and kill the child window ...

Is the problem only that it is an MDI child window?
ie. if it is just a normal form can you create it (without showing it) and then show it when you need it or unload if you do not need it? I do similar thing but instead of using standard MDI child forms, I use the CJ Docking manager and put the form into a floating window.
