COM is usually pretty good about converting variants as need be, and the
more specific types are usually pretty specialized.  I find that I rarely
need any types other than VT_I4 and VT_BSTR.

Not sure.  It could be that the controls are using some other method than
the one that I 'figured out' in writing EuCOM to position themselves.
Try manually calling move_obj().  I see now that it's undocumented,
which I'll fix.  Very simple to use:

proc move_obj( integer obj_ix, sequence new_rect )
+ obj_ix: EuCOM index of the object
+ new_rect: { x, y, cx, cy }
