I have a dll(C#) called by third-party system.
This system call fnSys function and pass as void pointer as parameter. Now I need to cast this void* to my structure.
My code is:
public struct Menu
{
public string str1;
public string str2;
}
public static unsafe int fnSys(void* value)
{
if (value!=null)
{
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("msg");
}
return 1;
}
Now when third-party system call this function Message box appears, but I can't figure out how can I convert this value to MenuItem. Also I tried like this:
Menu menu = (Menu)Marshal.PtrToStructure(value, typeof(Menu));
but this is not working.
Is there any ways?
I have found solution:
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack = 1, Size=255, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)]
public struct Menu
{
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 255)]
public string str1;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 255)]
public string str2;
}
public static unsafe int fnSys(Menu value)
{
if (value!=null)
{
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("msg");
}
return 1;
}
StructLayout attribute let us to control data fields in memory.
