Do as Jim said and make sure the declaration of IEventReceiver::OnEvent() is 
the same in the .h and .sip files (see attached).

Also remove the /Abstract/ annotation (for your example at least). Including 
it means that "there are *other* abstract functions which I'm not going to 
tell you about".

With the new .sip file I get the following output from running your test...

overloaded event: 200
overloaded event: 100
