How to export chart to an OLE stream in C++?

[User (Legacy)]

Hi!

I'm trying to export chart data to an OLE stream ( IStream* ).

I pass CHART_CFXOLEFILE as the first argument to Export method.

But what should be the second argument?

It seems to be VARIANT structure but of what type? (VT_I4, VT_UNKNOWN, or

else?)

Here's my code:

IStream* pStream = ... // create stream here

VARIANT var;

V_VT(&var) = VT_UNKNOWN;

V_UNKNOWN(&var) = pStream;

HRESULT hr = pChartFX->Export(CHART_CFXOLEFILE, var);

pStream->Commit(...);

Export method returns S_OK but the stream remains empty (nothing is saved).

Please help!

Thanks in advance,

Serge

You must use VT_STREAM
