This can happen when you try to access generic Any based interfaces, such as XPropertySet::setPropertyValue( Name, Value ) or X???Container::insertBy???( ???, Value ), from $[officename] Basic. The Basic runtime does not recognize these types as they are only defined in the corresponding service.</paragraph> 53*b1cdbd2cSJim Jagielski<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3154366" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="9">In this type of situation, $[officename] Basic chooses the best matching type for the Basic type that you want to convert. However, if the wrong type is selected, an error occurs. You use the CreateUnoValue() function to create a value for the unknown Uno type.</paragraph> 54*b1cdbd2cSJim Jagielski<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3150769" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="10">You can also use this function to pass non-Any values, but this is not recommend. If Basic already knows the target type, using the CreateUnoValue() function will only lead to additional converting operations that slow down the Basic execution.</paragraph> 55*b1cdbd2cSJim Jagielski</body> 56*b1cdbd2cSJim Jagielski</helpdocument> 57
