Public Data Members

Name Description
CComSafeArray::m_psa This data member holds the address of the SAFEARRAY structure.

Remarks

CComSafeArray provides a wrapper for the SAFEARRAY Data Type class, making it a simple matter to create and manage single- and multidimensional arrays of almost any of the VARIANT-supported types.

CComSafeArray simplifies passing arrays between processes, and in addition provides extra security by checking array index values against upper and lower bounds.

The lower bound of a CComSafeArray can start at any user-defined value; however, arrays that are accessed through C++ should use a lower bound of 0. Other languages such as Visual Basic may use other bounding values (for example, -10 to 10).

Use CComSafeArray::Create to create a CComSafeArray object, and CComSafeArray::Destroy to delete it.

A CComSafeArray can contain the following subset of VARIANT data types:

VARTYPE Description
VT_I1 char
VT_I2 short
VT_I4 int
VT_I4 long
VT_I8 longlong
VT_UI1 byte
VT_UI2 ushort
VT_UI4 uint
VT_UI4 ulong
VT_UI8 ulonglong
VT_R4 float
VT_R8 double
VT_DECIMAL decimal pointer
VT_VARIANT variant pointer
VT_CY Currency data type

Requirements

Header: atlsafe.h

Example

   // Create a multidimensional array, 
   // then write and read elements

   // Define an array of character pointers
   CComSafeArray<char> *pSar;

   char cElement;
   char cTable[2][3] = {'A','B','C','D','E','F'};

   // Declare the variable used to store the
   // array indexes
   LONG aIndex[2];

   // Define the array bound structure
   CComSafeArrayBound bound[2];
   bound[0].SetCount(3);
   bound[0].SetLowerBound(0);
   bound[1].SetCount(3);
   bound[1].SetLowerBound(0);   
   
   // Create a new 2 dimensional array
   // each dimension size is 3
   pSar = new CComSafeArray<char>(bound,2); 

   // Use MultiDimSetAt to store characters in the array
   for (int x = 0; x < 2; x++)
   {
      for (int y = 0; y < 3; y++)
      {
         aIndex[0] = x;
         aIndex[1] = y;
         HRESULT hr = pSar->MultiDimSetAt(aIndex,cTable[x][y]);
         ATLASSERT(hr == S_OK);
      }
   }
   // Use MultiDimGetAt to retrieve characters in the array
   for (int x = 0; x < 2; x++)
   {
      for (int y = 0; y < 3; y++)
      {
         aIndex[0]=x;
         aIndex[1]=y;
         HRESULT hr = pSar->MultiDimGetAt(aIndex,cElement);
         ATLASSERT(hr == S_OK);
         ATLASSERT(cElement == cTable[x][y]);
      }   
   }

CComSafeArray::Add

Adds one or more elements, or a SAFEARRAY structure, to a CComSafeArray.

HRESULT Add(const SAFEARRAY* psaSrc);
HRESULT Add(ULONG ulCount, const T* pT, BOOL bCopy = TRUE);
HRESULT Add(const T& t, BOOL bCopy = TRUE);

Parameters

psaSrc
A pointer to a SAFEARRAY object.

ulCount
The number of objects to add to the array.

pT
A pointer to one or more objects to be added to the array.

t
A reference to the object to be added to the array.

bCopy
Indicates whether a copy of the data should be created. The default value is TRUE.

Return Value

Returns S_OK on success, or an error HRESULT on failure.

Remarks

The new objects are appended to the end of the existing SAFEARRAY object. Adding an object to a multidimensional SAFEARRAY object is not supported. When adding an existing array of objects, both arrays must contain elements of the same type.

The bCopy flag is taken into account when elements of type BSTR or VARIANT are added to an array. The default value of TRUE ensures that a new copy is made of the data when the element is added to the array.

CComSafeArray::Attach

Attaches a SAFEARRAY structure to a CComSafeArray object.

HRESULT Attach(const SAFEARRAY* psaSrc);

Parameters

psaSrc
A pointer to the SAFEARRAY structure.

Return Value

Returns S_OK on success, or an error HRESULT on failure.

Remarks

Attaches a SAFEARRAY structure to a CComSafeArray object, making the existing CComSafeArray methods available.

CComSafeArray::CComSafeArray

The constructor.

CComSafeArray();
CComSafeArray(const SAFEARRAYBOUND& bound);
CComSafeArray(ULONG  ulCount, LONG lLBound = 0);
CComSafeArray(const SAFEARRAYBOUND* pBound, UINT uDims = 1);
CComSafeArray(const CComSafeArray& saSrc);
CComSafeArray(const SAFEARRAY& saSrc);
CComSafeArray(const SAFEARRAY* psaSrc);

Parameters

bound
A SAFEARRAYBOUND structure.

ulCount
The number of elements in the array.

lLBound
The lower bound value; that is, the index of the first element in the array.

pBound
A pointer to a SAFEARRAYBOUND structure.

uDims
The count of dimensions in the array.

saSrc
A reference to a SAFEARRAY structure or CComSafeArray object. In either case the constructor uses this reference to make a copy of the array, so the array is not referenced after construction.

psaSrc
A pointer to a SAFEARRAY structure. The constructor uses this address to make a copy of the array, so the array is not referenced after construction.

Remarks

Creates a CComSafeArray object.

CComSafeArray::~CComSafeArray

The destructor.

~CComSafeArray
() throw
()

Remarks

Frees all allocated resources.

CComSafeArray::CopyFrom

HRESULT CopyFrom(LPSAFEARRAY* ppArray);

Parameters

ppArray
Pointer to the SAFEARRAY to copy.

Return Value

Returns S_OK on success, or an error HRESULT on failure.

Remarks

This method copies the contents of a SAFEARRAY into the current CComSafeArray object. The existing contents of the array are replaced.

CComSafeArray::CopyTo

Creates a copy of the CComSafeArray object.

HRESULT CopyTo(LPSAFEARRAY* ppArray);

Parameters

ppArray
A pointer to a location in which to create the new SAFEARRAY.

Return Value

Returns S_OK on success, or an error HRESULT on failure.

Remarks

This method copies the contents of a CComSafeArray object into a SAFEARRAY structure.

CComSafeArray::Create

Creates a CComSafeArray.

HRESULT Create(const SAFEARRAYBOUND* pBound, UINT uDims = 1);
HRESULT Create(ULONG ulCount = 0, LONG lLBound = 0);

Parameters

pBound
A pointer to a SAFEARRAYBOUND object.

uDims
The number of dimensions in the array.

ulCount

lLBound
The lower bound value; that is, the index of the first element in the array.

Return Value

Returns S_OK on success, or an error HRESULT on failure.

Remarks

A CComSafeArray object can be created from an existing SAFEARRAYBOUND structure and the number of dimensions, or by specifying the number of elements in the array and the lower bound. If the array is to be accessed from Visual C++, the lower bound should be 0. Other languages may allow other values for the lower bound (for example, Visual Basic supports arrays with elements with a range such as -10 to 10).

CComSafeArray::Destroy

Destroys a CComSafeArray object.

HRESULT Destroy();
