c++ and New Inspector event

[JahMic]

Can somebody tell how to handle a New Inspector event in c++. I
realize I need to setup an event handler, but how?

It would be great to do this with the Outlook Object Model, but COM
events is ok too.

Thanks, J

On the low level, you will need to QI the object for
IConnectionPointContainer, call
IConnectionPointContainer::FindConnectionPoint, the ncall
IConnectionPoint::Advise passigng your implementation of IDispatch. Whenever
an event is raised, your implemenattion of IDispatch::Invoke() will be
invoked with the appropriate dispid.
Both MFC san ATL have COM events support, but don't use either of them. You
migth want to look at the C++ samples from

Thanks. I pretty much figured it out, a lot of work to setup a
button...
