Use the CountParam property to count the parameters  of an OLE event. Use the Name property to get the parameter name. Use the Param property to get the event's parameter. Use the Value property to specify the value of the parameter. The following VB sample enumerates the arguments of an OLE event when OleEvent event is fired.

Private Sub Surface1_OleEvent(ByVal Element As EXSURFACELibCtl.IElement, ByVal Ev As EXSURFACELibCtl.IOleEvent)
   Debug.Print "Event name:" & Ev.Name
   If (Ev.CountParam = 0) Then
      Debug.Print "The event has no arguments."
   Else
      Debug.Print "The event has the following arguments:"
      Dim i As Long
      For i = 0 To Ev.CountParam - 1
         Debug.Print Ev(i).Name; " = " & Ev(i).Value
      Next
   End If
End Sub

The following VC sample displays the events that an ActiveX control is firing while it is hosted by an element:

 #import <exsurface.dll>

static CString V2S( VARIANT* pv, LPCTSTR szDefault = _T("") )
{
	if ( pv )
	{
		if ( pv->vt == VT_ERROR )
			return szDefault;

		COleVariant vt;
		vt.ChangeType( VT_BSTR, pv );
		return V_BSTR( &vt );
	}
	return szDefault;
}

void OnOleEventSurface1(LPDISPATCH Element, LPDISPATCH Ev) 
{
	EXSURFACELib::IOleEventPtr spEvent( Ev );
	CString strOutput;
	strOutput.Format( "Event's name: %s\n", spEvent->Name.operator const char *() );
	OutputDebugString( strOutput ); 
	if ( spEvent->CountParam == 0 )
		OutputDebugString( "The event has no parameters." ); 
	else
	{
		for ( long i = 0; i < spEvent->CountParam; i++ )
		{
			EXSURFACELib::IOleEventParamPtr spParam = spEvent->GetParam( COleVariant( i ) );
			strOutput.Format( "Name: %s, Value: %s\n", spParam->Name.operator const char *(), V2S( &spParam->Value ) );
			OutputDebugString( strOutput ); 
		}
	}
	OutputDebugString( "" ); 
}

The #import clause is required to get the wrapper classes for IOleEvent and IOleEventParam objects, that are not defined by the MFC class wizard. The same #import statement defines the EXSURFACELib namespace that include all objects and types of the control's TypeLibrary. In case your exsurface.dll library is located to another place than the system folder or well known path, the path to the library should be provided, in order to let the VC finds the type library.

The following VB.NET sample displays the events that an ActiveX control is firing while it is hosted by an element:

Private Sub AxSurface1_OleEvent(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AxEXSURFACELib._ISurfaceEvents_OleEventEvent) Handles AxSurface1.OleEvent
    Debug.WriteLine("Event's name: " & e.ev.Name)
    Dim i As Long
    For i = 0 To e.ev.CountParam - 1
        Dim eP As EXSURFACELib.OleEventParam
        eP = e.ev(i)
        Debug.WriteLine("Name: " & e.ev.Name & " Value: " & eP.Value)
    Next
End Sub

The following C# sample displays the events that an ActiveX control is firing while it is hosted by an element:

private void AxSurface1_OleEvent(object sender, AxEXSURFACELib._ISurfaceEvents_OleEventEvent e)
{
	System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine( "Event's name: " + e.ev.Name.ToString() );
	for ( int i= 0; i < e.ev.CountParam ; i++ )
	{
		EXSURFACELib.IOleEventParam evP = e.ev[i];
		System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine( "Name: " + evP.Name.ToString() + ", Value: " + evP.Value.ToString() );
	}
}

The following VFP sample displays the events that an ActiveX control fires when it is hosted by an element ( OleEvent event ):

*** ActiveX Control Event ***
LPARAMETERS item, ev

local s
s = "Event's name: " + ev.Name
for i = 0 to ev.CountParam - 1
		s = s +  "Name: " + ev.Param(i).Name + " ,Value: " + Str(ev.Param(i).Value)
endfor
