IDataFunctions::ConvertMoneyString

The ConvertMoneyString method converts a string representation of a currency value to a currency VARIANT, based on the specified locale.

HRESULT ConvertMoneyString(
VARIANT vtMoney,// in
VARIANT vtLocale,// in
VARIANT vtNumber// out
);

Parameters

vtMoney

A VARIANT that contains the string representation of the number to convert. The vt member of this VARIANT must be initialized to VT_BSTR, and its pbstrVal member must contain the BSTR value to convert.

vtLocale

A VARIANT that specifies the locale on which to base the conversion. If this VARIANT is empty (VT_EMPTY) or NULL (VT_NULL), ConvertMoneyString uses the locale specified by a previous call to put_Locale.

pvtNumber

If successful, a pointer to a VARIANT that contains the converted value. ConvertMoneyString initializes this VARIANT’s vt member to VT_CY, and stores the converted value in its cy member. If unsuccessful, ConvertMoneyString sets pvarNumber to NULL.
