access the variant

[jainchar]

hello
I am creating a VARIANT that stores a integer value of variable but variable is not initialize.In my code the variable are "r" and"c" where r and c are the value of row and column of a table.I am using it in a split function of Cell class of my project.The code for which i create for VARIANT is as follows and syntax of Split function are as follows.Please help me how i use this variant in my code.

The code for variant is

VARIANT v;
VariantInit(&v);
v.vt=VT_14;
V_I4(&v)=r;
VARIANT v1;
VariantInit(&v1);
v1.vt=VT_14;
V_I4(&v1)=r;


The syntax for Split function is

void Split(VARIANT *NumRows,VARIANT * NumColumns)

Then what shouild i do, please help me.

Can you describe this function declaration

void Split(VARIANT *NumRows,VARIANT * NumColumns)

in English?

This code looks fishy:

 
VARIANT v;
VariantInit(&v);
v.vt=VT_14;
V_I4(&v)=r;
 
 

I see the VARIANT v being defined. I see the VARIANT being initialized. I see the discriminator being set to VT_14, which is not correct as there is no VT_14 for a VARIANT. That should be VT_I4. But in any case I do not see the LONG being placed in the VARIANT.

Where do you set v.lval?

This code V_I4(&v)=r also looks odd. Maybe you set v.lval inside the V_I4 function but assigning r to the return of V_I4 accomplishes nothing. In any case, V_I4 is a poor name for a function since it is so close to the VARIANT discriminator enum values.

thanx for ur suggestion

I am using it and there is no problem but in the following code there was syntax problem.please tell me where is the error

VARIANT v;
VariantInit(&v);
v.vt=VT_I4;
v.intVal=r;

VARIANT v1;
VariantInit(&v1);
v1.vt=VT_I4;
v1.intVal=c;
if(cell.Split((v*),(v1*)))
{
.
.
.
}

it gives the error in if block of syntax error:')'.U have to suggest me to used lVal which is used for LONG but i m using integer and i m using intVal.so what should i do.

First read the documentation on VARIANT before trying to use it. VT_I4 is for a LONG and you do use lVal.

An INT is VT_INT and there you use intVal.

A little Google is all you need:
VARIANT and VARIANTARG
