Marshalling union/structure within as structure?

[PickwickBob3]

I am try to marshall the following:
/*typedef struct tagRAWMOUSE
{
USHORT usFlags;
union
{
ULONG ulButtons;
struct
{
USHORT usButtonFlags;
USHORT usButtonData;
};
};
ULONG ulRawButtons;
LONG lLastX;
LONG lLastY;
ULONG ulExtraInformation;
} RAWMOUSE, *PRAWMOUSE, *LPRAWMOUSE;*/

To the following in C#:

[ StructLayout( LayoutKind.Sequential )]
public struct ButtonFlagsData
{
public UInt16 usButtonFlags;
public UInt16 usButtonData;
}
[ StructLayout( LayoutKind.Sequential )]
public struct MyUnion
{
public UInt32 ulButtons;
ButtonFlagsData buttonFlagsData;
}
[ StructLayout( LayoutKind.Sequential )]
public struct RAWMOUSE
{
public UInt16 Flags;
MyUnion myUnion;
public UInt32 RawButtons;
public Int32 LastX;
public Int32 LastY;
public UInt32 ExtraInformation;
}
Is that correct?? If not can you suggest the correct formation?? Thanks.

Union means that each member in the inner structure starts at the same
address, the start of the inner structure.

[ StructLayout( LayoutKind.Sequential )]
public struct MyUnion
{

So, you need this:

[FieldOffset(0)]

public UInt32 ulButtons;

[FieldOffset(0)]

ButtonFlagsData buttonFlagsData;
}

Is that correct?? If not can you suggest the correct formation?? Thanks.

That is how you correct the union, at the very least.

Forgot to mention: you'll want to change the LayoutKind to
LayoutKind.Explicit when you're using FieldOffset.

Thanks for your help. Does this look right? The method does not return any
values other than zero in the structures. Here is the code:

/* typedef struct tagRAWINPUTHEADER {
DWORD dwType;
DWORD dwSize;
HANDLE hDevice;
WPARAM wParam;
} RAWINPUTHEADER, *PRAWINPUTHEADER;*/
[ StructLayout( LayoutKind.Sequential )]
public struct RAWINPUTHEADER

private int Type;
private int Size;
private IntPtr Device;
private int wParam;
}

/*typedef struct tagRAWMOUSE

LONG lLastX;
LONG lLastY;
ULONG ulExtraInformation;
} RAWMOUSE, *PRAWMOUSE, *LPRAWMOUSE;*/
