Problems with data conversion

[Gian]

Hi, i've a problem converting data from a format to another. the function VARIANT SaveToMemory(const VARIANT& Format, const VARIANT& CurSelection); returns a byte array (text data) casted like a VARIANT. I need to put this array in a CString variable. So I've used this: COleVariant varBuffer; COleVariant mode, cur; mode = (long)5; cur = (short)TRUE; varBuffer = m_txctrl.SaveToMemory(mode, cur); CString m_text = ((CByteArray &)(varBuffer.pbVal)).GetData(); But this will return an empty string. using CString m_text = (varBuffer.pbVal); return me a single byte. It's wrong my code?

i've solved calculating the dimension of the OleVariant and using memcpy to copy data in a CByteArray. now works :)
