This is an Commandbar Hook Component, every button in Officeapplication can be hooked.
This component was written, because Delphi/C++Builder cannot handle Events with Interfaces
as parameters as the Office.CommandbarButton.OnClick Event has.
It is inherited from TOLEServer for easy access to the ConnectionpointContainer.
Examples for Word and Excel provided, but it does also work with all other office
applications. (Outlook, Powerpoint, Project, ...)
