To import the events use:

  use Wx::ActiveX::Event qw(EVT_ACTIVEX EVT_ACTIVEX_IE_NEWWINDOW2 EVT_ACTIVEX_IE_STATUSTEXTCHANGE) ;
  ... or ...
  use Wx::ActiveX::Event qw(:all) ;

You can get the list of ActiveX events using GetEventName():

  }

Eache ActiveX event has their own argument list (hash), and the Key 'Cancel' can be used to ignore the event. In this example any new window will be canceled, seting $evt->{Cancel} to true:

    my ( $obj , $evt ) = @_ ;
    $evt->{Cancel} = 1 ;
  }) ;
