How to use UDT with containers like CSafeArray or CDicObj?

[Upsydaisy]

Hi,

I have been experimenting with the containers provided in Afx. I would like to store a UDT in something like a CSafeArray but cannot figure out the best way of doing it?

I get the feeling the best way of doing this is to dynamically allocate the UDT then store the address in the container?

I also notice that container types use CVar for the items, could this help?

Thanks

You have to pass a variant of type VT_RECORD that will hold a pointer to a IRecordInfo object. The low-level IRecordInfo interface will be used to describe the members of the UDT and fill the values.

It's not easy, unless you have good low-level COM programming knowledge.
