Re: Reading a byte array from a Variant

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Possible reason is the VB (VB6) returns the variable which name is
equal to the function name:
Public Function GetArray(ByRef b() As Byte) As Byte()
GetArray = b
End Function
Otherwise the function returns the empty array, which has the right
type, but doesn't contain any value. I.e. vaRet.vt will be (VT_ARRAY |
VT_UI1), but vaRet.parray will be NULL.
