APIs from QB64PE and parameters defined As Any and unions of types ?

[madscijr]

An example of how unions and structures are used, and how much memory is used.

To explain again: In a union, the memory requirement is equal to the largest variable.
All variables in a union have to share this memory, so one have to know exactly which one one want to use.
In a structure, each variable gets its own memory space.

Thank you for explaining. 
I'm planning to give Spriggsy's _MEMGET handler a try, which allocates memory depending on type.
