I'm looking for a good example on implementing an event sink in ATL.  Most
of the tutorials I've found whimp out when it comes to this part of
connection points.  As far as I can tell, the wizards don't do this for you.
I've used them to implement a connection point interface.  I've seen several
different ways to accomplish event sinks but I want to know the best way in
ATL today.  For example, why use IDispEventImpl vs. IDispEventSimpleImpl?
It looks like I can derive any class from this and be able to handle events,
correct?  I thought originally that the client had to be a COM object to do
so because IUnknown was required.  What's the best way to advise and
unadvise?  It looks like DispEventAdvise and DispEventUnadvise are the
easiest ones.  My Beginning ATL book just isn't cutting it.

I'm having problems getting my event sink to work (as I posted below) and
need to see a working example.  I can get events called correctly when the
event handler doesn't accept parameters.  When the method takes parameters,
I run into trouble.

Thanks so much.
