The Plugin Api provides entry points to create Variants with REALNewVariantxxx. It does not provide REALNewVariantObject because it wasn't necessary; One simply can return any REALobject as a variant to the RB runtime. But if the REALobject = NULL, will the "conversion" to a variant give a valid variant with VarType = 0? Guess it won't, given the absence of REALNewVariantObject and an associated entry point.

Is there a trick or some such, or is there an unsupported entry point I could exploit to create a Vartype = 0 variant, even if RS would send it to me in private (for testing)?

In addition, will there be an REALNewVariantInt64 be available? I suppose the entry point is already defined in the RB runtime. Could you provide the entry point to a "REALNewVariantInt64" , so we don't need to wait for an updated SDK?

Alfred
