Canceling events on COM Objects in python

[Oliver Nelson]

Mike,

Thank you for the suggestion.  I will ask over there also.  The event is 
sent back from the COM interface as the code illustrates. 
MakeActiveXClass allows me to pass the object that will receive events. 
  I don't understand much more detail about how it works.  It is 
certainly a different model than the standard wx event system...
