[JDEV] C++ and JabberCOM.dll

[Stefan Bornschein]

Hi,
I am a newbie, try to implement a Jabber client in VC++ for Windows NT.
When I try to import the "JabberCOM.tlb" file utilizing the #import command
I get a compile error. Apparently I can't instantiate objects from abstract
classes like IXMLTag. Well, sure I can't instantiate them, but why is
IXMLTag an abstract class and why does IJabberSession try to instantiate it
anyway?
Has anybody experienced a similar problem and maybe even solved that ?
I appreciate every input

Thanx in advance
stefan
