How can I extract data from an OLE variant data?

[AOrtin]

I'm working with a COM server that sends the data with an OLE Variant type. I could see this in a variant indicator I attached to the output data of the invoke node function. The data in this indicator is :
Variant type ->VT_ARRAY|VT_UI1
Value ->Array ( Non displayable)
I use the 'Variant to Data' function to cast the data, but I don't know what type have to input to extract the data.The data I expect to see is this struct:
{
SAFEARRAY *parray;
long var1;
long var2;
LPBYTE pData;
}
I have tried to make a cluster with this struct but I receive a 'incorrect type' error (code=80020005h) in the 'Variant to Data' function. I have tried many combinations but without success. It was useful if someone gives me a exampl
e of how to extract data from an ole variant, specially if the real data contains pointers.

AOrtin,
It seems to be an array of U8. Wire an array of U8 to the type input of Variant to Data function.
