2 Problems with COM

type PrivateAlias1 = array[0..14] of Double;
you might already have this .. dunno

for the events simply set them to some procedure
ex:

var DocEvents: _IDocumentEvents;
begin
  // do your interface initialization
...
  // set the event handler
  DocEvents.OnMachineModeChange:=DoMachineModeChange;
...
end;

procedure TForm1.DoMachineModeChange(MachineMode: espMachiningMode); ;
begin
  // some event handler code
end;

@Lee_Nover
what do you mean with the first answer ? ("you might already have this .. dunno")

2nd question :
how to initialize the interface for the events ?

You may want to use
     type PrivateAlias1 = array of Double;

i get the same error
trying to save :
"Out parameters requires pointer type"

1: An array of double is not COM-compatible. U should use a SafeArray or a Variant instead.

2: I think you would have to implement the _IDocumentEvents-interface in your client an link it to the server at runtime. Then the server will notify your client in case of any event. Its up to your client, to handle the events then.

Maybe it would help to see the complete interface-definition of the tlb.

HTH,

>>you might already have this .. dunno<<
I meant that you might already have the array declared as a type
to create an interface you usualy use CoCreateInstance
if the events interface is a part of some other interface then use QueryInterface on the 'owner' interface
