Managed C++ equivalent for Foo([in] VARIANT_BOOL b, [out, retval] VARIANT *ptr)

[Boris]

I have an interface in Managed C++ where one of the methods is this one:

Object *Foo(Boolean *b)

When I use tlbexp to check the IDL the line above is converted to:

HRESULT Foo([in, out] VARIANT_BOOL *b, [out, retval] VARIANT *ptr)

However I need:

HRESULT Foo([in] VARIANT_BOOL b, [out, retval] VARIANT *ptr)

What must the declaration of the method look like?

Thanks in advance,
Boris

Probably

Object *Foo(Boolean b)

Which is converted to this IDL:

HRESULT Foo([in] unsigned char b, [out, retval] VARIANT *ptr)

Any other idea?

I got it:

Object *Foo([MarshalAsAttribute(UnmanagedType::VariantBool)]Boolean b)
