Hi,
i want to call a function that has a parameter of type const VARIANT&.
i want to pass a string as parameter.

i try to do like this

VARIANT Var;
Var.vt = VT_BSTR;
Var.pbVal = (unsigned char *) LPCTSTR("Testing string");
function(Var);

but i use watch window to watch Var variable and it shows {"" VT_BSTR}

so i try other method

Var.vt = VT_BSTR;
Var.bstrVal = (unsigned short*) LPCTSTR("Testing string");

the same thing happen, what have i did wrong ?
How to convert string value to VARIANT ?

thanks
