Re: Creating event objects

....some more detail:

The MbtQuotesNotify is derived from IUknown which I guess explains why this
class was generated differently then the rest (than those dervied from
IDispatch):

    [
      odl,
      uuid(C8323838-B094-4E3C-B9BE-D08B5C06E6BE),
      helpstring("IMbtQuotesNotify Interface"),
      oleautomation
    ]
    interface IMbtQuotesNotify : IUnknown {
        HRESULT _stdcall OnQuoteData([in] QUOTERECORD* pQuote);
        HRESULT _stdcall OnLevel2Data([in] LEVEL2RECORD* pRec);
        HRESULT _stdcall OnTSData([in] TSRECORD* pRec);
        HRESULT _stdcall OnOptionsData([in] OPTIONSRECORD* pRec);
    };

So I guess the question is how to create instances of IUnknown-derived
classes?

On one other point, using a C++ sample program for the Com classes I'm
using, the constructor of the C++ MbtQuotesNotify class invokes:

 EnableAutomation();      // Enable OLE automation

Is there something equivalent I need to do?

Also, please pardon the ignorance about COM.  I've managed to avoid this
stuff my whole career, but I do have a pretty solid background in java,
C++, CORBA, etc.
