How to create a method returning a string ?

[Francois PIETTE [ICS - MidWare]]

Hello,

I'm adding a COM interface to my application so that is can be driven from
Excel using VBA. Everything is fine untile now. I can add properties and
methods using typelibrary editor and implement them. Perfect.

Now I need to add a method taking a string parameter and returning an string
value.

I cannot figure out how to create that simple function using the typelibrary
editor. I'm sure it is simple but it is not as simple as creating a method
and telling it returns a BSTR...

Any help appreciated.

Create a method with two BSTR parameters - the first marked as [in] and the
second marked as [out,retval].
