Raising COM events in C++?

[thesleepylizard]

(Posted this to the "DCOM/COM" forum, but I'm not sure which one is appropriate why are there two??)

In VB6 it's really easy to write COM objects, and to raise events:

Public Event SomethingImportantOccured (Data as string)
.
.
.
RaiseEvent SomethingImportantOccured ("Bingo!")
.
.
.
Private Sub ImportantObject_SomethingImportantOccured(Data as string)
    '
End Sub

In C++, I want to do write a COM object in a COM library, and do exactly the same thing. But, I'm not sure how to declare, raise, and handle COM events in C++.

Any ideas? Or, can anyone point me in the right direction/documentation?

Thanks for your time,
