Trouble with C# and FAXCOMEXLib: Fax Service Extended COM API (faxcomex.dll)

Hello all,

I am having trouble retreiving the Fax Status using C#...

Also I can only seem to set FAXCOMEXLib.FAX_SERVER_EVENTS_TYPE_ENUM one at a time...

I can see at run-time that I am Registering the FAXCOMEXLib.FAX_SERVER_EVENTS_TYPE_ENUM.fsetFXSSVC_ENDED Event

or which ever SINGLE FAXCOMEXLib.FAX_SERVER_EVENTS_TYPE_ENUM enum I use...

And my fax works just fine with this code, but does not appear to be correctly raising the FaxJobStatus events no matter which enum I use...

Am I missing something obvious?
Thanks in advance.
