VARPTR Property

PLBCMP GUI Only

The VARPTR property indicates that a VARIANT is passed to an OLE application for a property or method parameter as a VT_VARIANT type. The property uses the following format:

VARPTR={value}

Note the following:

VARPTR may be used in CREATE, SETPROP, or GETPROP statements of a VARIANT object.
This property causes the runtime to pass a VT_VARIANT to the interface that contains the address of the variant data.
The requirement for passing a VT_VARIANT is controlled by the OLE application employed by the PLB program.
{value} is a decimal number, a Numeric Variable, a DIM array, an Expression, or a keyword as defined in PLBEQU.INC. The supported values and keywords are:

Value	Keyword	Arguments are passed as a....
0	$OFF	VARIANT type. (default)
1	$ON	pointer to a VARIANT object.
2		pointer to the VARIANT value.
