Overview

WIN32OLE_VARIANT objects represents OLE variant.

Win32OLE converts Ruby object into OLE variant automatically when
invoking OLE methods. If OLE method requires the argument which is
different from the variant by automatic conversion of Win32OLE, you
can convert the specified variant type by using WIN32OLE_VARIANT class.

  param = WIN32OLE_VARIANT.new(10, WIN32OLE::VARIANT::VT_R4)
  oleobj.method(param)

WIN32OLE_VARIANT does not support VT_RECORD variant. Use WIN32OLE_RECORD
class instead of WIN32OLE_VARIANT if the VT_RECORD variant is needed.
