Hi,

Thank you very much for your kind help the other day.

Last time I got stuck in the method of outputting in the BSTR structure and passing it to VB, but this time I got stuck in the method of passing it from VB to VC++ as input.
I thought I should do the opposite of what I did last time, but maybe because I'm inexperienced, it didn't go so easily...So, if you don't mind, can I ask for your help?

＜What I want to do＞
I would like to know how to pass a structure marshaled in VB to VC++ as a BSTR structure.

　VB（screen/FORM）：Structure（MarshalAs（UnmanagedType.Bstr）
　↓
　VC++（DLL）：typedef（BSTR）

＜Development Environment＞
　Windows7（32bit）
　VisualStudio2008（VB/VC++）

＜Execution Environment＞
　Windows7（32bit）

Thank you.

What I have tried:

I tried the following source code with reference to the previous solution, but an error occurred when the Bstr structure was referenced on the VC++ side.

I want to call the function with the "tpNonPosDet2" structure on the VB side as an argument and receive the data as the "NPOS_DETAIL_UPD2" structure on the VC++ side.

"... an error occurred ..."
You need to provide the full details of the error.

Dave Kreskowiak 25-Nov-22 12:22pm

It's not a "BSTR structure". It's a structure containing BSTRs. Yes, it matters.

Marino_Y0301 28-Nov-22 3:13am

I'm sorry. and thank you for pointing that out.

I have updated a new demo at:
http://ladder.42web.io/src/CppSvc2.7z[^]

please look at the two projects:
VBClient\CppDll.
the key is to give the buffer size (count of structs) to Marshal service.

Marino_Y0301 30-Nov-22 3:35am

Thank you for your kindness.
I checked two projects, but I can't understand how to setting keys.
How can I count the buffer size (count of structs)?
In the project you gave me, it seemed to display the received value by using "CString". For example, is it possible to modify this example to get the value with "wcsncpy_s" instead of "CString" and use "strncpy_s" to store the value in another struct containing a Char?
That's what I want to do...

hi Marino_Y0301:

I checked two projects, but I can't understand how to setting keys.

VB

<DllImport("CppDll.dll", SetLastError:=False, CharSet:=CharSet.Unicode)> _
    Private Shared Function GetDatFromVB(<[In](), [MarshalAs](UnmanagedType.LPArray, SizeParamIndex:=1)> ByVal rIn As MyStruct(), _
        ByVal iLen As Integer, _
        <[Out]()> ByRef rOut As MyStruct) As Integer
    End Function

set the array size like this:

UnmanagedType.LPArray

means this parameter is an struct-array but not one struct,
and

SizeParamIndex:=1

tells marshal service that next parameter (the 1st parameter) is the size of array.

is it possible to modify this example to get the value with "wcsncpy_s" instead of "CString" and use "strncpy_s" to store the value in another struct containing a Char?

CString can be converted to a LPCTSTR like this:

C++

CString s(L"XXX");
static_cast<lpctstr>(s); 
<pre>

you can also reference the BSTR/LPTSTR/WCHAR[] members of the struct,
Marshal service make sure they hold the correct strings.

if you want to convert a unicode string to mbcs string, use W2A_CP with a codepage,
then you can invoke strncpy_s with that mbcs string.
