non-variant com variable passing

[kunhock Koo]

I am trying to use the new non-variant method for passing variable to com.

I am experienced problem in that, it seems to add a terminating char ZERO.

My application is to pass license key to the com i licensed, but the com then complain of invalid key. And when I read back the key stored, it has one char extra which is char ZERO.

like :

keyStr = "abc"

myCom.LicenseKey = keyStr

print myCom.licenseKey ( read -> "abc<00>")


Any help ?

Regards and Thanks.

Forget the 00 stuff, try ucode$( "key..." )

Ya that work .. thanks

Yes that work .. and solve another problem I experienced when I extract data from the com object (by applying acode$ to the result).

But .. please enlighten me .. does that mean this com object work in unicode ?

Regards.

Most likely..
If it has a IDispatch interface you may also try the OBJECT CALL functions instead.
They use variants.
