When you use Visual FoxPro as an early binding client and want to reference a variant data type in a COM object, you must first create an instance of the variable with the type you expect to retrieve. For example:
В | ![]() |
---|---|
DEFINE CLASS varianttest AS SESSION OLEPUBLIC FUNCTION varret(outVal AS VARIANT@, inVal AS VARIANT) AS VOID OutVal = inVal ENDFUNC ENDDEFINE |
After building this class into a DLL named myServer, you can reference the data as shown in the following code:
В | ![]() |
---|---|
x = CREATEOBJECT("myServer.varianttest","","") ov = "" tt.varret(@ov, "string") && Sets string value. ov = 0 tt.varret(@ov, 123) && Sets ov to an integer value. ov = 0.0 tt.varret(@ov, 44.44) && Sets ov to a real numeric value. ov = l tt.varret(@ov, f) && Sets ov to a Boolean value. |
