MDI app message dispatching

I have an MDI application which receives streaming data from a measuring device. The MDI application consists of several child forms - each of which contains a label for displaying text.

The data is of binary format - and consists of a header section, and a payload section. The header contains a tag code (which identifies the child form to which the payload data is to be sent), and the payload (to keep things simple), consists of text.

I have worked out the logic, but I am not too sure how to code in VB6 (coming from a different language).

The logic is as follows:

1). Message is received
2). Check tag to determine which child to send data to - if a child form with matching tag is not available, then spawn a new child, set tag and pass message to new form - else if child with matching tag is found, simply pass message to it.

Could anyone provide an outline as to how I may implement this using VB6 ?
