[in] long VarId,
[out, retval] BSTR* Value

);

Parameters

VarId

[in] ID of specified Variable.

Value

[out, retval] String containing the current value of the specified Variable.

Remarks

The returned value is a string that represents the stored value of the Variable. The string value will need to be
converted by the caller into the actual type, e.g. a Variable of type

long

The format for the returned string depends on the Variable’s type (see GetVariableType ( VarId ) page
