This function retrieves a single element of the array.
HRESULT SafeArrayGetElement(SAFEARRAY FAR* psa,long FAR* rgIndices,void FAR* pv );
Parameters
- psa 
 [in] Pointer to an array descriptor created by SafeArrayCreate.
- rgIndices 
 [in] Pointer to a vector of indexes for each dimension of the array.- The right-most (least significant) dimension is rgIndices[0]. - The left-most dimension is stored at rgIndices[psa->cDims –1]. 
- pv 
 [out] Void pointer to the location to place the element of the array.
Return Values
Returns the HRESULT values shown in the following table.
| Value | Description | 
|---|---|
| S_OK | Success. | 
| DISP_E_BADINDEX | The specified index is invalid. | 
| E_INVALIDARG | An argument is invalid. | 
| E_OUTOFMEMORY | Memory could not be allocated for the element. | 
Remarks
This function calls SafeArrayLock and SafeArrayUnlock automatically, before and after retrieving the element. The caller must provide a storage area of the correct size to receive the data.
If the data element is a string, object, or variant, the function copies the element in the correct way.
Passing invalid (and under some circumstances NULL) pointers to this function causes an unexpected termination of the application.
Example
STDMETHODIMP CEnumPoint::Next(
  ULONG celt,
  VARIANT FAR rgvar[],
  ULONG FAR* pceltFetched)
{
  unsigned int i;
  long ix;
  HRESULT hresult;
  for(i = 0; i < celt; ++i)
    VariantInit(&rgvar[i]);
  for(i = 0; i < celt; ++i){
    if(m_iCurrent == m_celts){
    HRESULT = ReportResult(0, S_FALSE, 0, 0);
      goto LDone;
  }
    ix = m_iCurrent++;
    HRESULT = SafeArrayGetElement(m_psa, &ix, &rgvar[i]);
    if(FAILED(hresult))
      goto LError0;
  }
  HRESULT = NOERROR;
LDone:;
  *pceltFetched = i;
  return hresult;
LError0:;
  for(i = 0; i < celt; ++i)
    VariantClear(&rgvar[i]);
  return hresult;
}
