I am not sure what you mean here, you mean IDispatch and not IUnknown?

As for the interface, I don't think you have to specify that, or just use
the IID for IDispatch. But as you're probably aware of it's easier using the
#import directive and a typelibrary with C++ as you'll have to a lot of
fight with VARIANT arrays and other niceties else.
