vbaObjSetAddref

Assigns a raw object pointer to an Object variable, addrefing the new pointer and releasing any prior reference.

Syntax: vbaObjSetAddref( DstObject , SrcObjPtr ) As LongPtr

DstObject: required IUnknown. The variable to receive the pointer. Any prior reference is released.
SrcObjPtr: required LongPtr. The pointer to the COM object that DstObject should refer to. IUnknown::AddRef is called on the pointer.

This is the copy-with-addref primitive — equivalent to a regular Set DstObject = obj when obj is held only as a raw LongPtr.

The return value mirrors the assigned pointer.
