Declare Function mixerSetControlDetails Lib "winmm.dll" (ByVal hmxobj As IntPtr, ByVal pmxcd As MIXERCONTROLDETAILS, ByVal fdwDetails As Integer) As Integer
User-Defined Types:
C# Struct
The winmm dll may not execute properly on 64-bit systems. Consequently, the StructLayout must be Sequential, with CharSet = Ansi, and Pack = 4. This particular type has some special layout considerations (the c union keyword) which typically means developers would use the explicit layout. However, the explicit layout breaks down on 64-bit systems for any type with an IntPtr in the type. Consequently, the C# types have been redesigned to use Sequential layout so that they will automatically adjust to 64-bit systems. This means private fields with public properties which perform the gunky work of making it look like there is a union.

Tips & Tricks:
The fdwDetails parameter can be composed constants from two distinct enumerations, one of which is used frequently in the winmm library, and the other constant is only used with this method. Consequently, you should wrap up the method definition so that it is easier to use, and more consistent. In the following example, the actual extern is private, while the public static method lists both enums to callers.
An IntPtr is a pointer to a memory location (unmanaged) that adapts to the platform it is running on (64-bit, etc.) UNLIKE a standard int/Integer. You should always use this type for unmanaged calls that require it, even though an int will appear to work on your development machine.
