Nice article. I've tucked it away for future reference.

I came across this great article - may be of interest to some people:
Introduction
There are numerous examples that demonstrate how to use/create
COM/OLE/ActiveX components. But these examples typically use Microsoft
Foundation Classes (MFC), .NET, C#, WTL, or at least ATL, because those
frameworks have pre-fabricated "wrappers" to give you some boilerplate
code. Unfortunately, these frameworks tend to hide all of the low level
details from a programmer, so you never really do learn how to use COM
components per se. Rather, you learn how to use a particular framework
riding on top of COM.
If you're trying to use plain C, without MFC, WTL, .NET, ATL, C#, or
even any C++ code at all, then there is a dearth of examples and
information on how to deal with COM objects. This is the first in a
series of articles that will examine how to utilize COM in plain C,
without any frameworks.
