Description

The function create-instance-with-events is a convenience function which starts an i-dispatch interface and sets an event handler.

It first calls create-instance with clsid and all the keyword arguments except the event-object. It defaults the create-instance argument riid to the value i-dispatch.

It then calls set-i-dispatch-event-handler on the resulting interface, passing event-handler, event-object and clsid (as the coclass).

interface is the interface started, and sinks is the result of set-i-dispatch-event-handler.
