Gah, finally figured out how to use what's in the IDL file.

First I was messing around with ActiveXObject() trying to create an instance, but it's much simpler.

For example,

code:

---

    //IMPMsgPlus interface
    [
        uuid(45C2DA37-53C8-4497-9C87-9E6A6DFF2B7C),
        helpstring("MPScript Messenger Plus! Interface")
    ]
    interface _IMPMsgPlus : IUnknown
    {
..snip..
        HRESULT DisplayToast([in] BSTR sTitle, [in] BSTR sMessage, [in,optional] VARIANT sCallback, [in,optional] VARIANT vCallbackParam, [out,retval] VARIANT_BOOL *bDisplayed);
        HRESULT DisplayToastContact([in] BSTR sTitle, [in] BSTR sContactName, [in] BSTR sMessage, [in,optional] VARIANT sCallback, [in,optional] VARIANT vCallbackParam, [out,retval] VARIANT_BOOL *bDisplayed);
    }

You take the name, which in this case is IMPMsgPlus and remove the IMP, making it MsgPlus. Then to, say, call DisplayToast you would simply use MsgPlus.DisplayToast()
