Convert VB function to C++ / C code

[Paul McKenzie]

Hello,
I want to convert the following VB function to c/c++ function. I don't know how to deal with VB's Variant variable in C/C++.

There is no such thing as "Variant" in C++. Also, please use code tags when posting code.

Forget about the translation line-by-line, and forget about VB right now.

What exactly do you want to do? Whatever that is, write it in C++. If you did that, there would be no "Variant" coming into play.

For some reason, I need function to return a char*

And what is this "char *" supposed to denote?

The reason for your error is exactly as stated -- a bool is not a char*. So again, tell us what you want to do, not how the old VB code did things.

Regards,

Paul McKenzie
