<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3147291" xml-lang="en-US">Returns an object that represents a strictly typed value referring to the Uno type system. </paragraph>
</section>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3143267" xml-lang="en-US">This object is automatically converted to an Any of the corresponding type when passed to Uno. The type must be specified by its fully qualified Uno type name.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="note" id="par_id3153626" xml-lang="en-US">The $[officename] API frequently uses the Any type. It is the counterpart of the Variant type known from other environments. The Any type holds one arbitrary Uno type and is used in generic Uno interfaces.</paragraph>
<embed href="text/sbasic/shared/00000003.xhp#functsyntax"/>
<paragraph role="code" id="par_id3154760" xml-lang="en-US">oUnoValue = CreateUnoValue( "[]byte", MyBasicValue ) ' to get a byte sequence.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3150541" xml-lang="en-US">If <literal>CreateUnoValue</literal> cannot be converted to the specified Uno type, and error occurs. For the conversion, the <literal>com.sun.star.script.Converter</literal> service is used.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3153524" xml-lang="en-US">This function is intended for use in situations where the default Basic to Uno type converting mechanism is insufficient. This can happen when you try to access generic Any based interfaces, such as <literal>XPropertySet::setPropertyValue( Name, Value )</literal> or <literal>X???Container::insertBy???( ???, Value )</literal>, from $[officename] Basic. The Basic runtime does not recognize these types as they are only defined in the corresponding service.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3154366" xml-lang="en-US">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 <literal>CreateUnoValue()</literal> function to create a value for the unknown Uno type.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3150769" xml-lang="en-US">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 <literal>CreateUnoValue()</literal> function will only lead to additional converting operations that slow down the Basic execution.</paragraph>
