Method Detail

toVariant

public static Variant.VARIANT toVariant(Object value)

Convert a java value into a VARIANT suitable for passing in a COM invocation.

Implementation notes

• VARIANTs are not rewrapped, but passed through unmodified
• A string is wrapped into a BSTR, that is wrapped into the VARIANT. The string is allocated as native memory by the VARIANT constructor. The BSTR needs to be freed by OleAuto.SysFreeString(com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WTypes.BSTR).

Parameters:

value - to be wrapped

Returns:

wrapped VARIANT

toJavaObject

public static Object toJavaObject(Variant.VARIANT value,
                                  Class<?> targetClass,
                                  ObjectFactory factory,
                                  boolean addReference,
                                  boolean freeValue)

toComEnum

public static <T extends IComEnum> T toComEnum(Class<T> enumType,
                                               Object value)

free

public static void free(Variant.VARIANT variant,
                        Class<?> javaType)

Free the contents of the supplied VARIANT.

This method is a companion to toVariant(java.lang.Object). Primary usage is to free BSTRs contained in VARIANTs.

Parameters:

variant - to be cleared

javaType - type before/after conversion

free

public static void free(Variant.VARIANT variant,
                        Object value)

Free the contents of the supplied VARIANT.

This method is a companion to toVariant(java.lang.Object). Primary usage is to free BSTRs contained in VARIANTs.

Parameters:

variant - to be cleared

value - value before/after conversion
