William,

Thanks for the code reference, that file had all of the examples I needed, and 
it seemed to work well using the Buffer class.

Hi Wes,

It is possible. Unfortunately the only C++ example I can think of this is 
currently in the management (QMF) code.  I'll try to get another example out 
soon.

Have a look here:
cpp/src/qpid/agent/ManagementAgentImpl.cpp

Simply, the steps are:
You create a Buffer and then use the various put APIs (e.g. putLong, putDouble 
etc.) to put the binary types in the Buffer. You then place that Buffer in the 
data portion of the message. On the consumer side you extract the Buffer and 
then use the various get APIs (e.g. getLong, getDouble etc.) to retrieve the 
values from the Buffer.

Best,
William
