Pick up String Array from a VB6 DLL

Hi

I have a VB6 DLL that I've instantiated from a VBScript script and I want to pick up the String array returned by one of the methods but I'm getting a type mismatch error. Here's an example of what I'm doing.

  Option Explicit
  
  Dim pvArrBatches
  Dim oExport
  
  Set oExport = CreateObject("SampleVB6.Export")
  
  pvArrBatches = oExport.GetBatchList
  
  MsgBox IsArray(pvArrBatches) ' shows True
  Msgbox "Ubound " & Ubound(pvArratches)   '  shows 1 when 2 items are present in the array
  
  Msgbox pvArrBatches(0)  '' Type mismatch error
  
  
  
  

The VB6 DLL exposes a method as follows:

  Public Function GetBatchList() As String()
    ' build string array
     GeBatchList = pvArrStrList   ' where pvArrStrList    is a correcly populated string array
  End Function
  

Is there anyway I could pick up the string array exposed by my VB6 DLL?

Thanks

Does this work?

Msgbox CStr(pvArrBatches(0))

Hi Ebgreen

No, the Msgbox CStr(pvArrBatches(0)) also generates an error.
In the meantime I've found this link http://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/42/211620.aspx which states that you can only pick up arrays of variants.

Thanks for your input

Hmmm...annoying but not completely unexpected since all VBScript vars are variants.
