Kind regards

There is a wonderful article at Microsoft that seems to address this exact question. If you want to stick with straight C++ (i.e. MFC/ATL), you should check out the article as it has loads of sample code:

I would suggest looking into ATL if you are using C++, and using C++ if using C. It is very easy to use the #import construct to access COM objects in DLLs or EXEs.
