How do I create a variant (REALobject) for a REALObject? For primitiv types or strings I see the REALNewVariantString() or REALNewVariantDouble() for example. For objects, arrays or DateTime such a function doesn’t exists.

Thank you!

nothing.

a variant is an object already, so you use REALobject for it.
