I'm not sure why it returns a VARIANT, since all it ever contains is
either an error or a _Key object, but that is indeed what it returns. To
turn that into a _Key, you need to do:
Wineyes::_Key *Temp = NULL;
if ( test.vt == VT_DISPATCH && test.pdispVal ) {
test.pdispVal->QueryInterface( __uuidof(*Temp), (void **)&Temp );
}
(You should check for errors from QueryInterface, too, but since you
weren't doing that in your call to get_Key I didn't do it in my code.)

Hi:
I'm trying to obtain a Key from a hotkey and have the following c++
snipitt:
//now obtain a key object to get the key combination.
VARIANT test;
Hotkey->get_Key(&test);
Wineyes::_Key* Temp =(Wineyes::Key*)test;
I am told that there is no suitable conversion function. The
documentation states that the Key property of a hotkey returns a key
object, but in c++ this is returning a variant. Is the idl incorrect,
or am I not doing something I should be?
Help appreciated as always.
Cheers
