CComPtr and CComDispatchDriver are completely unrelated to #import. You
are thinking about _com_ptr_t - based smart pointers.

Also isn't put_propName connected to smart pointers?

In what way? Presumably, it's a method you implement. Didn't you say
that you want to set a property on your own object you have a C++
pointer on, rather than a COM object you only have a COM interface
pointer on? You can call any C++ method on a C++ object given a C++
pointer to it. The fact that the object also happens to implement some
COM interfaces is irrelevant to this observation.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
