COleSafeArray::GetLBound

void GetLBound( DWORD dwDim, long* pLBound );

Parameters

dwDim

The array dimension for which to get the lower bound.

pLBound

Pointer to the location to return the lower bound.

Remarks

Call this function to return the lower bound for any dimension of a COleSafeArray object. On error, the function throws a COleException.

Example

COleSafeArray saMatrix;
DWORD numElements[] = {10, 5};

// creates a 2 dimensional safearray of type VT_I2 
// with size 10x5 elements, with all indices starting at 0(default)
saMatrix.Create(VT_I2, 2, numElements);

long lLBound;

//get lower bound for 1st dimension
saMatrix.GetLBound(1, &lLBound);

ASSERT(lLBound == 0);

//get lower for 2nd dimension
saMatrix.GetLBound(2, &lLBound);

ASSERT(lLBound == 0);

COleSafeArray saVector;
SAFEARRAYBOUND rgsabounds[] = { {5, 1} };

// creates a 1 dimensional safearray of type VT_I1 
// with size 5 elements, with the index starting at 1
saVector.Create(VT_I1, 1, rgsabounds);

//get lower bound for 1st dimension
saVector.GetLBound(1, &lLBound);

ASSERT(lLBound == 1);
