defining a struct

Question

Hello,

I'm building a windows forms application and at this moment, I'm developping a class which will be used by the form application. On this class I declared a struct:

struct XPTO{
    unsigned char DIP;
    unsigned char DOP_1;
    unsigned char DOP_2;
};

I would like to declare this struct as a global variable, which I can afterwards call on the Form.

In the middle of a function I do fine by doing:

XPTO my_XPTO;

and I can access it by my_XPTO.DIP = 10;

But when I try to declare it as public I get an error:

error C4368: cannot define 'my_XPTO' as a member of managed 'Class_Name': mixed types are not supported.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for helping!

Answer 1

For declaring a managed struct you have to specify how it is going to be used -

value struct XPTO{
    unsigned char DIP;
    unsigned char DOP_1;
    unsigned char DOP_2;
};
