Passing a pointer to an object in an ActiveX event

I have a class CMyObject, that I want to pass in an ActiveX event.

I have not as yet found a way of passing pointers in events - any one
knows how ?

//PseudoCode IDL
[id(1)] void HereComesMyObje ct(CMyObject*); // <- How ??

COM is about passing interface pointers not object pointers. So make
CMyObject a COM object implementing an interface like IMyObject.
When you want to be automation compatible (i.e. mostly necessary to function
in VB/VBA) you will need to pass an IDispatch pointer IIRC.

Hello, Here's the scenario: Object A opens a Sql Db connection to execute number of SqlCommands. Then it needs to pass this connection to a constructor of object B which in turn executes more commands on the same connection. I have an understanding that if SqlConnection is passed as "value" (unboxed), object B will create its own copy of SqlConnection, so when object A closes its connection, it remains open for object B's copy. Is this

I was under the assumption that if you pass an object as a param to a method and inside that method this object is changed, the object will stay changed when returned from the method because the object is a reference type? my code is not proving that. I have a web project i created from a web service that is my object: public class ExcelService : SoapHttpClientProtocol {
