My current confusion is, in IDL I have defined some customized data
type (some struct) and in some methods I use such customized data
type as input parameter or return value. Even if the data members of
the struct are all VARIANT types, I think the struct itself is not
VARIANT type, correct?

http://vcfaq.mvps.org/com/4.htm

If I want to support IDispatch.Invoke to consume the methods, could I
use such customized data type either as input parameter or return
value, I may support C++/Visual Basic/VBScrit client?

Only VB (and of course, C++) can handle structs in automation
interfaces. Scripts can't.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
