    The same way you use your computer without turning it on.

    Try using SafeArrayGetLBound and SafeArrayGetUBound to determine the amount of elements in the array.

    Got a question? try looking it up in MSDN first. Msdn comes with the Visual Studio, and can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com

    You will get the count of elements reading a long with offset 16 to safe array pointer.


    SA = SafeArrayCreate(VT_DISPATCH, 1, SAB)
    cnt = MemLong(SA + 16)

    Where does MemLong() come from??

    The structure of SAFEARRAY (returned by SafeArrayCreate() ) is documented at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...aidl-safearray

    As SA is a pointer to this structure, then any info required from this should be accessed via usual structure access methods rather than using a specific offset.
