Currently, very few useful ArcObjects expose the IDispatch interface.
Check the arcobject model diagrams in the development kit directory
tree; Dante had nothing on these guys. It is apparently extremely
nontrivial to work around this. I wasted a fair, or more correctly
unfair, chunk of time learning this and had to return to actually
getting things done. On the bright side, I was forced to successfully
implement DLMs with the ESRI GridIO API.
ArcGIS version 9 will ship with a reworked set of objects which expose
IDispatch. I've seen sample code of hydrological analysis done in
Python. This should, heh, ship this (northern) summer after being
unveiled at the ESRI User Conference.
Cheers,
