[archive] any altertanative to c$setvariant

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 06 October 2006]

Any alternative method in acu to create a variant rather than c$setvariant? I need to supply an variant array to a COM object, for which c$setvariant does not work with thin client. Please help me.

Thanks,
Vara Prasad.

You can always fill the VARIANT structure yourself, but that is going to take some work.

Hi,


Thank you very much for your reply. Can you please provide me some code sample or any link to the documentation, so that I can experiment a bit with the concept. Thanks in advance.

Here is a link to a reference on the VARIANT structure:

That is all I have.
Apart of that, there is support for C$SETVARIANT for Thin Client in upcoming version 8, so if you can wait a bit. You are probably better off with that.
