trouble with a safe array of variants

jeffery c

I have a safe array of variants I have been working on getting working in c++. I need to pass a safearray of variants with this flags in fFeatures set by default: FADF_FIXEDSIZE, FADF_STATIC, FADF_HAVEVARTYPE and FADF_VARIANT. Trouble is I have an ATL com dll project (mouse emulator) that wraps another ATL com dll called softhidreceiver. When I called softhidreceiver I need to pass a safe array of variants but Iam having trouble doing so. Here is an msdn forum post that never got solved but grew so large I just started a new post. http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/a54fdef1-6479-41dc-8662-4c615d1dab9e/invalid-safearray-of-variants#be1b5734-9a80-439e-a3dd-32f48d24ab84[^] Anyone knowledge with safearray of variants? I have not choice in the matter unless someone has a better idea of passing values to queueinputreport? Heres my current code though so far:

STDMETHODIMP CMMEmulator::sendinputreport(unsigned char inputreport[5], int length)
{

\_TCHAR szBuffer\[100\];
\_stprintf\_s(szBuffer, \_T("%i"), inputreport\[1\]);
MessageBox(NULL,L"value of second byte input report",szBuffer,NULL);

BYTE bSampe\[5\] = {0x00,inputreport\[1\],inputreport\[2\],0x00,0x00};
HRESULT        hr            = S\_OK;
SAFEARRAY     \*psaData       = NULL;
VARIANT HUGEP\* pVarArrayData = NULL;
 SAFEARRAYBOUND bound;
bound.cElements = 5;
bound.lLbound = 0;

psaData = SafeArrayCreateVector(VT_VARIANT,0,5);

hr = SafeArrayAccessData(psaData, (void HUGEP**)&pVarArrayData);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
for (long i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
VariantInit(&pVarArrayData[i]);
pVarArrayData[i].vt = VT_UI1;
pVarArrayData[i].bVal = static_cast<byte>(bSampe[i]);
// SafeArrayPutElement(psaData,&i,&pVarArrayData);
}
hr = SafeArrayUnaccessData(psaData);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
piSoftHidDevice1[devindex]->QueueInputReport(psaData,10);
piSoftHidDevice1[devindex]->StartProcessing();
}
}
SafeArrayDestroy(psaData);

//piSoftHidDevice1\[devindex\]->StopProcessing();
return S\_OK;
//Exit:

}
