How can I get data from function?

Hello!

I am automating CorelDraw by using the Variant class, i.e.

in Delphi:
var
vCorelApp: Variant;
[...]
vCorelApp := CreateOleObject('CorelDraw.Automation.8');
vCorelApp.SetVisible(0);

or in C++Builder:
Variant vCorelApp;
[...]
vCorelApp = CreateOleObject("CorelDraw.Automation.8");
vCorelApp.OleFunction("SetVisible", 0);

and so on. Now I need to get data from Corel`s script function GetSize which has this declaration in Corel Help:

.GetSize .XSize = long*, .YSize = long*

i.e. GetSize returns datas by function arguments.

How can I receive XSize and YSize from GetSize function? Any code example will be appreciated.

TIA,
Elie

.GetSize w, h

the w and h variables have the dimensions of the object or in your code example:

.GetSize XSize, YSize

the variables XSize and YSize would hold the dimensions, simply refer to the variables as you would normally.

Thank You Bill!

In C++ code it looks like:
long XSize, YSize;
vCorelApp.OleFunction("GetSize", &XSize, &YSize);

and GetSize fills args with values, but now I have another problem. I cannot understand these values . I mean if I use:

vCorelApp.OleFunction("CreateRectangle", 10000, 0, 0, 20000, 0);
vCorelApp.OleFunction("GetSize", &XSize, &YSize);

then I expected to receive XSize = 20000 and YSize = 10000, but I get XSize = 20762 and YSize = 10762. I do not understand this difference 762. What it is?

TIA,
Elie
