[news.eclipse.tools] Re: VT_PTR+VT_VARIANT in OLE

["Veronika Irvine" <veronika_irvine@xxxxxxx>]

VT_PTR seems to be a TYPEDESC thing for which there is no support.  There
is, however, some support for VT_BYREF.  See:

/**
* Create a Variant object which contains a reference to the data being
transferred.
*
* <p>When creating a VT_BYREF Variant, you must give the full Variant type
* including VT_BYREF such as
*
* <pre><code>short byRefType = OLE.VT_BSTR | OLE.VT_BYREF</code></pre>.
*
* @param ptr a pointer to the data being transferred.
* @param byRefType the type of the data being transferred such as
OLE.VT_BSTR | OLE.VT_BYREF
*
*/
public Variant(int ptr, short byRefType)
