Success.

E_INVALIDARG

Example

The following code example creates a safearray using the SafeArrayAllocDescriptor and SafeArrayAllocData functions.

SAFEARRAY FAR* FAR*ppsa;
unsigned int ndim = 2;
HRESULT HRESULT = SafeArrayAllocDescriptor(ndim, ppsa);
if( FAILED(hresult))
  return ERR_OutOfMemory;
(*ppsa)->rgsabound[ 0 ].lLbound = 0;
(*ppsa)->rgsabound[ 0 ].cElements = 5;
(*ppsa)->rgsabound[ 1 ].lLbound = 1;
(*ppsa)->rgsabound[ 1 ].cElements = 4;
HRESULT = SafeArrayAllocData(*ppsa);
if( FAILED(hresult)) {
  SafeArrayDestroyDescriptor(*ppsa)
  return ERR_OutOfMemory;
}
