#include <unknwn.h>
[object, ms_union, uuid("00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001")]
__interface IFireTabCtrl {
   HRESULT DisplayString([in, string] char * p1);
};

[export, switch_type(short)] union _WILLIE_UNION_TYPE  {
   [case(24)]
      float fMays;
   [case(25)]
      double dMcCovey;
   [default]
      int x;
};
