Hi all,
Can anyone explain how MakePy interprets COM IDL? If I define: HRESULT Test([out] byte* outp); Makepy generates: """method Test""" return self._ApplyTypes_(3, 1, (24, 0), ((16401, 2),), u'Test', None,outp) and I can interpret (16401,2) as VT_UI1, BYREF and OUT. If, however, I define: HRESULT Test([in] long len, [in, size_is(len)] byte outp[]); MakePy generates: """method Test""" return self._ApplyTypes_(4, 1, (24, 0), ((16387, 3), (16401, 2)), u'Test', None,len, outp) and the marshalling of outp is still a pointer to a single byte, not an array of bytes. Manually editing the MakePy class to use a value of 16412 (i.e. VT_CARRAY BYREF) gives me a 'VARIANT Type is unknown' exception as does 16414 (VT_LPSTR) Adding in 0x2000 to set VT_ARRAY leads to a 'Type mismatch' error. Is there some doccumentation somewhere to tell me which VARIANT types I can use and how to do arrays? Many thanks, Dave. </PRE> <p style="font-family:'Arial';font-size:8pt"> **********************************************************************<br> Please consider the environment - do you really need to print this email?<br> <br> This email is intended only for the person(s) named above and may contain private and confidential information.
