Default Compound Document Properties


Is it possible to read the compound document properties from an Excel 2002 file using C++?
Those include for example title, author, subject and many other fields found in the Properties ta
in the File menu

I know how to read the normal data from cells, but that method doesn't apply to those properties(or i don't think
it does). And also there was this Microsoft KB article 186898 that decribed exactly that, but it doesn't seem to wor
with these newer file types, or the code itself is somehow obsolete for today's Visual Studio .NET that I use
(the code in the article was originally made for Win95 and Excel 97).

And I specifically need the C++ way. NOT VB, C# or any other..
