  For that I asume you'd need to do your own

typelib, no such functions seem to be available.

  Stubborn is when you won't buy a new screwdriver,
even though yours has a worn tip. Your approach is more
like deciding that using a hacksaw as a screwdriver depends
only on one's dedication. And after all, no one ever got
famous for just using a screwdriver properly, so let's make
it more challenging...

   That implies that actually turning the screw was never
relevant in the first place. It's just an afterthought to a
useless puzzle. I find it interesting to discover new functionality
in Windows COM objects. But only if it's *useful* functionality.

  Anyway, I don't have time to look into this because I'm
working on a project to make a 600-piece jigsaw puzzle
of a waterfall out of a single slice of bread. Mr. Guinness,
here I come. :)
