Advantages of C++ SAFEARRAY: Explain

[TJW]

Can someone help in explaining the advantage/use of the C++ SAFEARRAY as I am not finding much useful material out there.

This may be my answer to returning a large multidimensional array from a class memberfunction. That is some how converting such an array to a SAFEARRAY is probably what needs to happen.

Thanks again,

Tim
