What is the result of the following code?

   require 'win32ole'
   WIN32OLE_TYPE.ole_classes("Ccs.tlb").each do |k|
     puts k.name
     puts k.ole_type
     puts k.guid
     puts k.progid
     puts "---"
   end

If k.progid or k.guid is nil, then OLEGEN outputs a module.
Because Win32OLE does not know how to instantiate a Class
without guid and progid.

Anyway, if you could instantiate AcdEvent object in VBScript,
then you could instantiate AcdEvent object in Win32OLE.
If you could not instantiate it in VBScript,
then you could not instantiate it in Win32OLE.
And OLEGEN's output depends on Win32OLE, so OLEGEN's output is same.

You should ask the provider of CCS how to instantiate
AcdEvent in VBScript.
