According to the help files for the COM-aware application, the
datatypes used are:

Visual Basic Type       C++ Type
--------------------------------
Variant                 VARIANT
String                  BSTR
Boolean                 VARIANT_BOOL
Long                    long
Integer                 short
Double                  double
Single                  float
arrays                  SAFEARRAY

Does that answer any questions?
