Name
OleVariant Type
Syntax
type OleVariant;
Description
The OleVariant type is the same as the
Variant type, except that an
OleVariant can store only OLE-compatible types. In
particular, an OleVariant cannot store a Delphi
string, but must store a wide string instead.
Tips and Tricks
When you assign a value to an OleVariant, Delphi
automatically converts its value to an OLE-compatible value, that is,
it converts an AnsiString
(varString) to a wide string
(varOleStr).
