VARIANTS and their typecast

[richsb]

Hi,

Any clues as to what I should be using to change the type of a VARIANT into a CString ?

Cheers
Rich

use _varaint_t and _bstr_t. Once you have a _bstr_t you can use the LPCTSTR conversion operator to copy the data into a CString.

VARIANT v = ....;
_bstr_t bstr(v);
CString str((LPCTSTR)bstr);
