CComBSTR::CComBSTR

The constructor. The default constructor sets the m_str member to NULL.

CComBSTR( ) throw( ); 
CComBSTR(
   const CComBSTR& src 
);
CComBSTR(
   REFGUID guid 
);
CComBSTR(
   int nSize 
);
CComBSTR(
   int nSize,
   LPCOLESTR sz 
);
CComBSTR(
   int nSize,
   LPCSTR sz 
);
CComBSTR(
   LPCOLESTR pSrc 
);
CComBSTR(
   LPCSTR pSrc 
);

Parameters

• nSize
  [in] The number of characters to copy from sz or the initial size in characters for the CComBSTR.

• sz
  [in] A string to copy. The Unicode version specifies an LPCOLESTR; the ANSI version specifies an LPCSTR.

• pSrc
  [in] A string to copy. The Unicode version specifies an LPCOLESTR; the ANSI version specifies an LPCSTR.

• src
  [in] A CComBSTR object.

• guid
  [in] A reference to a GUID structure.

Remarks

The copy constructor sets m_str to a copy of the BSTR member of src. The REFGUID constructor converts the GUID to a string using StringFromGUID2 and stores the result.

The other constructors set m_str to a copy of the specified string. If you pass a value for nSize, then only nSize characters will be copied, followed by a terminating null character.

The destructor frees the string pointed to by m_str.

Example

CComBSTR bstr1;   // BSTR points to NULL
bstr1 = "Bye";    // initialize with assignment operator
                  // ANSI string is converted to wide char

OLECHAR* str = OLESTR("Bye bye!");  // wide char string of length 5
int len = (int)wcslen(str);
CComBSTR bstr2(len + 1);// unintialized BSTR of length 6
wcsncpy_s(bstr2.m_str, bstr2.Length(), str, len); // copy wide char string to BSTR

CComBSTR bstr3(5, OLESTR("Hello World")); // BSTR containing 'Hello', 
                                          // input string is wide char
CComBSTR bstr4(5, "Hello World");         // same as above, input string 
                                          // is ANSI

CComBSTR bstr5(OLESTR("Hey there")); // BSTR containing 'Hey there', 
                                     // input string is wide char
CComBSTR bstr6("Hey there");         // same as above, input string 
                                     // is ANSI

CComBSTR bstr7(bstr6);     // copy constructor, bstr7 contains 'Hey there'
