Enum VBVarType

Namespace

RDCore.SDK.Model.Values.Runtime

Assembly

RDCore.SDK.dll

MS-VBAL 6.1.1.16 VbVarType — the COM Automation VARENUM tag space a Variant value carries. These are the same numeric values the VarType() standard library function reports and that OLE Automation marshals a VARIANT against, so RD-VBA's own VBVariantValue stays shaped correctly for COM interop even where a real host/marshalling layer doesn't exist yet.

[StdLibEnum(null)]
public enum VBVarType

Fields

VBArray = 8192

Combined (bitwise-or'd) with the element type's own VBVarType: the VBVariantValue subtype is an array whose element type is that combined tag (MS-VBAL 6.1.1.16: "Any Array type: 8192 + VarType of element's type").

VBBoolean = 11

The VBVariantValue subtype is VBBooleanType.

VBByte = 17

The VBVariantValue subtype is VBByteType.

VBCurrency = 6

The VBVariantValue subtype is VBCurrencyType.

VBDataObject = 13

The VBVariantValue subtype is VBObjectType — COM's own VT_UNKNOWN: an early-bound (IUnknown-only, non-Automation) object reference. RD-VBA does not yet distinguish this from VBObject; nothing constructs this value today.

VBDate = 7

The VBVariantValue subtype is VBDateType.

VBDecimal = 14

The VBVariantValue subtype is VBDecimalType.

VBDouble = 5

The VBVariantValue subtype is VBDoubleType.

VBEmpty = 0

The VBVariantValue subtype is VBEmptyType.

VBError = 10

The VBVariantValue subtype is VBErrorType — also the subtype of the Missing data value an omitted Variant argument carries (DISP_E_PARAMNOTFOUND in the underlying COM representation).

VBInteger = 2

The VBVariantValue subtype is VBIntegerType.

VBLong = 3

The VBVariantValue subtype is VBLongType.

VBLongLong = 20

The VBVariantValue subtype is VBLongLongType (and, on a 64-bit host, VBLongPtrType_x64).

👉 This value is statically undefined in a 32-bit environment.

VBNull = 1

The VBVariantValue subtype is VBNullType.

VBObject = 9

The VBVariantValue subtype is VBObjectType — COM's own VT_DISPATCH: a late-bound Automation object reference (an IDispatch* in the underlying COM representation).

VBSingle = 4

The VBVariantValue subtype is VBSingleType.

VBString = 8

The VBVariantValue subtype is VBStringType (a BSTR in the underlying COM representation).

VBUserDefinedType = 36

The VBVariantValue subtype is a VBUserDefinedTypeValue.

VBVariant = 12

The VBVariantValue subtype is VBVariantType.

👉 Variant unwrapping can get really funky.
