Hello!


Is there a way to attach a BSTR to the comstl::bstr class? I didn't find  
an attach method, and if I pass a BSTR to the constructor then a copy of  
the string is made.


So Long...

Yes, you're right. For the moment you can _probably_  - I haven't tested this -
do something like:

  comstl::bstr   s;
  BSTR            bs = ::SysAllocString(L"abc");

  *s.DestructiveAddress() = bs;

But you're quite right that an attach() method is called for. I will do just
that at the weekend, and also upgrade the help for this class (and release the
1.9.5 help on site, as well, I think).

Cheers

Matt
