COleSafeArray

[Peter Molnar]

Hi, I have trouble with this type, need help. Consider this function declaration:

SCODE SetData(VARIANT FAR* pData)

What I have is a sample code which reads in data from a file and works just fine. A COleSafeArray is passed to the function as follows:

COleSafeArray osa;
SAFEARRAYBOUND sab;
sab.cElements = file.GetLength();
sab.lLbound = 0;
osa.Create(VT_UI1, 1, &sab);

void* buffer;
osa.AccessData(&buffer);
file.Read(buffer, file.GetLength());
osa.UnaccessData();

SetData(osa);

I want to pass a string to this function and can't figure it out how. Please help. Bunburry
