Hello NG,

in forme times (decades ago :-) I used to definy my own message structs in
Delphi like this :

TGbReportMessage = packed record
Msg: Cardinal;
Action : Word;
ActionId: Word;
Handle : UINT;
Result: LongInt;
end;

Can I do the same in C# and if yes how?

Thanks for Help

You can use a struct for this.

Hi Ignacio,

Thanks for responding.

Yes, but can I then typcast a incoming windows message to this struct like I
used to do this in Delphi?

// make sure we process only our messages ....
if aMsg.Msg=FMsgId then
begin
FCurrentMsg := TGbReportMessage(aMsg);

Regards
Rainer

Depends what its type was before you tried to cast it.

In general no, it depends of the type it was before. You could do something
similar to Delphi if you use an unsafe block.
