You could use something like:
   #include <stddef.h>
   ...
   void *Object::operator new( size_t size, HANDLE handle )
   ...
which would GlobalLock() the memory and return its address.  You would 
probably want to overload delete accordingly. 

You could also try something like:
   #include <new.h>
   ...
   ptr = new ( GlobalLock(handle) ) Object;
   ...
assuming that the proper amount of memory is tagged by the handle.  This 
will place the new object at the address returned by GlobalLock(). 

Either of these two methods should allow you to treat the objects
more or less in the standard way.
