Safe Array Definition inside Type LIbrary Editor

[Robert Gilland 3]

I am using Delphi 10.2. How do I define an array of records in the type library editor?

Is this for defining a method parameter? I think you have to define it as SAFEARRAY[VARIANT] (perhaps the syntax is SAFEARRAY(VARIANT), do not remember) in the code editor part, that is: in the ridl file. The type library editor only offers long as the element type for a safearray parameter. The server would have to construct a safearray with variants of type VT_RECORD.

I have never worked with such user-defined types in COM applications, but from the docs it looks to be horribly convoluted, to say the least...

As far as I know Delphi's support for OLE Variants does not include anything for UDTs, you would have to implement the necessary details in your own code.
