// cpp_attr_ref_iid_is.cpp  
// compile with: /LD  
#include "wtypes.h"  
#include "unknwn.h"  
[dispinterface, uuid("00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001")]  
__interface IFireTabCtrl : IDispatch  
{  
   [id(1)] HRESULT CreateInstance([in] REFIID riid,[out, iid_is("riid")]   
   IUnknown ** ppvObject);  
};  
  
[module(name="ATLFIRELib")];
