If all you need is a value assigned by COM method to a local variable, you can also
do it this way:

LOCAL MyVar
MyObj = CREATEOBJECT ("MyCOM.SomeClass")
myVar = MyObj.SomeMethod ()   && SomeMethod assigns 100 to MyVar
? MyVar && Shows 100

>Ah, that's it.

>Excellent, thanks.

>>Your local variable must be initialized to a numeric value before passing it to the COM method:
>>
>>

LOCAL MyVar
>>MyObj = CREATEOBJECT ("MyCOM.SomeClass")
>>MyObj.SomeMethod (@MyVar)   && SomeMethod assign 1 to MyVar
>>? MyVar && Print out .T.

>>
>>

LOCAL MyVar
>>MyVar = 0
>>MyObj = CREATEOBJECT ("MyCOM.SomeClass")
>>MyObj.SomeMethod (@MyVar)   && SomeMethod assign 1 to MyVar
>>? MyVar && Print out 1

>>>Only I'm sending a local variable using @ to a COM I created in VFP, and it returns as value .T., when it should be a numeric.
