The C++ is best.

No, this should be like a class declaration containing the methods (no
properties) that are shown in OleView. I see the interface in OleView is
a dispinterface meaning it can only be called using late binding. Is
there also a dual interface? Most good, well designed controls unless
coded specifically for VB should use dual interfaces as per the ActiveX
specification.
An example are these from the WebBrowser control....

No, this is just the GUID that identifies the control. You need to ask
the Clarion OLE control of the instantiated object for the address of
the interface that you want to call a method on.
> Title_ = IItem.Add()
This would be the syntax. But it would return an HRESULT and the return
value would be an [out] param or one that is passed in by address for
setting for return.
i.e
hr = IItem.Add(Title) where Title is passed by address for filling.
For an example, see the get_xxxx and put_xxxx methods in the above
interfaces. The put methods pass in a value, the get methods receive a
value via a param passed by address. Where a pointer to a pointer is
returned a *long is used and the returned pointer is cast to the
appropriate object type such as an Interface.
