    @class wxVariantDataSafeArray

    This class represents a thin wrapper for Microsoft Windows SAFEARRAY type.

    It is used for converting between wxVariant and OLE VARIANT
    with type set to VT_ARRAY, which has more than one dimension.
    When wxVariant stores wxVariantDataSafeArray, it returns "safearray" as its type.

    wxVariantDataSafeArray does NOT manage the SAFEARRAY it points to.
    If you want to pass it to a wxAutomationObject as a parameter:
        -# Assign a SAFEARRAY pointer to it and store it in a wxVariant.
        -# Call the wxAutomationObject method (CallMethod(), SetProperty() or Invoke())
        -# wxAutomationObject will destroy the array after the approapriate automation call.

    An example of creating a 2-dimensional SAFEARRAY containing VARIANTs
    and storing it in a wxVariant
    @code
    SAFEARRAYBOUND bounds[2]; // 2 dimensions
    wxSafeArray<VT_VARIANT> safeArray;
    unsigned rowCount = 1000;
    unsigned colCount = 20;

    bounds[0].lLbound = 0; // elements start at 0
    bounds[0].cElements = rowCount;
    bounds[1].lLbound = 0; // elements start at 0
    bounds[1].cElements = colCount;

    if ( !safeArray.Create(bounds, 2) )
        return false;

    long indices[2];

    for ( unsigned row = 0; row < rowCount; row++ )
    {
        indices[0] = row;
        for ( unsigned col = 0; col < colCount; col++ )
        {
            indices[1] = col;
            if ( !safeArray.SetElement(indices, wxString::Format("R%u C%u", row+1, col+1)) )
               return false;
        }
    }
    range.PutProperty("Value", wxVariant(new wxVariantDataSafeArray(sa.Detach())));
    @endcode

    If you you received wxVariantDataSafeArray as a result of wxAutomationObject method call:
    (1) Get the data out of the array.
    (2) Destroy the array.
    @code
    wxVariant result;
    result = range.GetProperty("Value");
    if ( result.GetType() == "safearray" )
    {
        wxSafeArray<VT_VARIANT> safeArray;
        wxVariantDataSafeArray* const
            sa = wxStaticCastVariantData(variant.GetData(), wxVariantDataSafeArray);

        if ( !safeArray.Attach(sa.GetValue() )
        {
            if ( !safeArray.HasArray() )
                SafeArrayDestroy(sa.GetValue()); // we have to dispose the SAFEARRAY ourselves
            return false;
        }

/**
    @class wxAutomationObject

    The @b wxAutomationObject class represents an OLE automation object containing
    a single data member,
    an IDispatch pointer. It contains a number of functions that make it easy to
    perform
    automation operations, and set and get properties. The class makes heavy use of
    the wxVariant class.

    The usage of these classes is quite close to OLE automation usage in Visual
    Basic. The API is
    high-level, and the application can specify multiple properties in a single
    string. The following example
    gets the current Excel instance, and if it exists, makes the active cell bold.

    @code
    wxAutomationObject excelObject;
      if (excelObject.GetInstance("Excel.Application"))
          excelObject.PutProperty("ActiveCell.Font.Bold", @true);
    @endcode

    Note that this class obviously works under Windows only.
