SetVariantArrayValueMBS(v as Variant, index as Integer, value as Variant)

// some part of app builds an array
Var a() as pair

// passes it as Variant somewhere else

Var v as Variant = a

// and later you may want to put values in array without knowing object type for array

// this raises TypeMismatchException
'dim o() as Object = v

// so use plugin

SetVariantArrayValueMBS(v, 0, 1:"Hello")
SetVariantArrayValueMBS(v, 1, 2:"World")

MsgBox a(0).Right+" "+a(1).Right

This function is to allow setting objects in an array inside a variant without known the class used to declare array.
Also updated to work with object, variant, string, date, integer, double, single, boolean, Int64 arrays. Other array types will raise exception.
Be sure to only put objects of right class in the array! Else you risk crashes.

If index is 1 bigger than ubound, we append an element.
