+
+ wxVariantDataSafeArray does NOT manage the SAFEARRAY it points to.
+ If you want to pass it to a wxAutomationObject as a parameter:
+ -# Assign a SAFEARRAY pointer to it and store it in a wxVariant.
+ -# Call the wxAutomationObject method (CallMethod(), SetProperty() or Invoke())
+ -# wxAutomationObject will destroy the array after the approapriate automation call.
+

+ and storing it in a wxVariant
+ @code
+ SAFEARRAYBOUND bounds[2]; // 2 dimensions
+ wxSafeArray<VT_VARIANT> safeArray;
+ unsigned rowCount = 1000;
+ unsigned colCount = 20;
+
+ bounds[0].lLbound = 0; // elements start at 0
+ bounds[0].cElements = rowCount;
+ bounds[1].lLbound = 0; // elements start at 0

+ if ( !safeArray.SetElement(indices, wxString::Format("R%u C%u", row+1, col+1)) )
+ return false;
+ }
+ }
+ range.PutProperty("Value", wxVariant(new wxVariantDataSafeArray(sa.Detach())));
+ @endcode
+
+ If you you received wxVariantDataSafeArray as a result of wxAutomationObject method call:
+ (1) Get the data out of the array.
+ (2) Destroy the array.
+ @code
+ wxVariant result;
+ result = range.GetProperty("Value");
+ if ( result.GetType() == "safearray" )
+ {
+ wxSafeArray<VT_VARIANT> safeArray;
+ wxVariantDataSafeArray* const
