The best you've got in VB6 is to use On Error Resume Next before the code that creates an instance of the object. If you're just using the designer and dropping the contorl on the form, you've got no options but to remove the object from the form and create it manually in your code, just after the On Error line. Right after the line of code you use to create the object, you can check the value of Err.Number If it's non-zero, something went wrong.
