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 :)
