union
This statement defines a C-style union.
Syntax
typedef [attributes] union [tag] {
memberlist
} unionname;
-
attributes
-
The attributes helpstring, helpcontext, uuid, hidden, and version are accepted before a union. The helpstring, helpcontext, and Constants [Automation] attributes are accepted on a union member. Attributes (including the square brackets) can be omitted. If uuid is omitted, the union is not uniquely specified in the system.
-
tag
-
An optional tag.
-
memberlist
-
The list of union members defined with C syntax.
-
unionname
-
The name by which the union is known in the type library.
Remarks
The union keyword must be preceded with a typedef. The union description must precede other references to the structure in the library. Members of a union can be of any built-in type, or any type defined lexically as a typedef before the union. For a description of how strings and arrays can be entered, see the sections String Definitions and Array Definitions.
Example
[uuid(BFB7334C-822A-1068-8849-00DD011087E8), helpstring("A task"), helpcontext(1019)]
typedef union {
COLOR polycolor;
int cVertices;
boolean filled;
SAFEARRAY (int) subtasks;
} UNIONSHOP;
