I'm having trouble understanding the documentation for the listall function. It says most of the params are pointers to arrays of 127 elements. But the ActiveX version of the call: ListAllX(), it says they are of type BSTR FAR* - are they still 127 byte arrays of type BSTR FAR* or what? I can convert the BSTR types to char[] or CString but I can't find any coding examples. Thanks for your help.

For BSTR FAR* you pass a string. 10 characters represent a number, so say 2 devices are found (numberFound) there will be 20 characters representing the 2 product ID numbers in the productIDList. calMatrix is normally a 2d array (127 by 20), so one device will have 20 numbers (200 characters). The User's Guide section describes the BSTR FAR* strings in the User's Guide:

The VB6 examples contain some OCX examples:

The AIBurstX and AIStreamX examples demonstrate passing strings which are normally represented by 1 and 2D arrays. There isn't a ListAllX example, but you would perform the call like this in VB:

    Dim lngErrorcode As Long
    Dim pID As String
    Dim ser As String
    Dim lID As String
    Dim pow As String
    Dim cal As String
    Dim fnd As Long
    Dim r1 As Long
    Dim r2 As Long
    lngErrorcode = Ljackuwx1.ListAllX(pID, ser, lID, pow, cal, fnd, r1, r2)
