Safe Array
The standard array type in ComAutomation.
Of note:
- An entire API exists for creating, reading, and manipulating SafeArrays
- SafeArrays are allocated on the global heap.
- SafeArrays can be kept alive via a reference counting mechanism much like ComComponents
- SafeArrays can be multi-dimensional
ToDo: go into more detail about how SafeArrays are allocated and passed around in the ComponentObjectModel
whats the damn holdup
Should "ToDo" be renamed "NeverDone"? Last edited 2002-09-26.
