Title:
How do I declare a variant in FoxPro
Hello,
I know this probably sounds like a stupid question but here is goes:
I am try to make our component work in FoxPro6. Basically I am try to do memory compression.
I have a string that I want to compress and then place in a byte array to then later on uncompress it back into a string.
This is the code I am try to use...
public gcBigBlob && uncompressed data
public gcLittleBlob && compressed data (variant)
gcBigBlob = "This is the string I wnat to compress"
gcLittleBlob = ""
&& Set up the compression control:
gnZip = CREATEOBJECT('XceedSoftware.XceedCompression')
&& Compress the data:
rslt = gnZip.Compress(m.gcBigBlob, m.gcLittleBlob, .T.)
MESSAGEBOX (gnZip.GetErrorDescription (rslt))
? m.gcLittleBlob
? LEN(m.gcLittleBlob)
The problem is that gcLittleBlob remains empty and the string is never compressed.
So I guess I need to know how to tell FoxPro that gcLittleBlob is a varian byte array.
I hope my question is clear! if not please let me know and I will try to explain further..
Thank you for your help :)
