C++/Structure/unions in Visual basic

[mistbringer]

How would you/anyone declare this union in a type/structure in VB??

union {
UINT uTimeout;
UINT uVersion;
} DUMMYUNIONNAME;


goodnite!

It's simply UINT. All the member of a union start at the same memory location. In this case, having two UINTs is marginally pointless, and they'd normally be used for things like this:

union large_uint {
    struct {
        unsigned long low;
        unsigned long high;
    }

    unsigned long long quad;
};

This means that the 64-bit integer quad occupies the same space as the two 32-bit integers low and high. This allows you to easily interpret it as the two parts of the same number.
