OCX return a string value to VB

[awni]

that works real good for single string returns, like

 
BSTR ReturnString()
{
       return a_BSTR
}

but if i need to change 2 or more strings like

void Change2Strings(String_Pointer s1, String_Pointer s2)
{
      *s1 = "something";
      *s2 = "something else";
}

then I'd need something else...

I wonder if allocating an array of type BYTE, with a single
element and allocating a string immediatly after that like

   dim b(1) as byte
   dim s as String
   dim s2 as String

I wonder if that would store the string right after the array
in memory.

I can then pass the array to Visual C++. VB passes the address
of the first element, so if the string follows the array in memory, i can just add 1 to the location of the array, and i've got me the address of the first string, i have no idea how to get to the second string though, maybe add 255? (why am i telling you this?)
I'll try it if i get a chance, and let you know(if i get a chance)

thanks
