Variants...

Just a quick question - is there a way to cycle through a variant, as one does with a collection using vlax-for?

I thought maybe:

(foreach x  (vlax-safearray->list
             (vlax-variant-value <Variant>))

           ;;  Do Something  ;;

)

But I just wondered if this was the only way to perform this type of operation.

Thanks

lee, that's the easier way for manipulating variants which is by converting it directly to a list thru (vlax-safearray->list) . The other way could be writing a routine which require some coding:

1. converting variant to safearray(vlax-variant-value),

2. getting its dimension(vlax-safearray-get-dim),

3. getting the bounds (vlax-safearray-get-l-bound/u-bound) for each dimension,

4. and using (vlax-safearray-get-element) for each element in the bound

Ahh, I understand Wizman - just extracting each element individually.

I just thought there might be a way to cycle through the elements directly, without having to go through the conversion - but thanks for the suggestion it is much appreciated
