The elements in the structure are sequential as per the definition, determined by offset and length of the prior element, and also by alignment rules. Each element has a known length, and based on that the offset of any element of the structure is known. The API knows that the ObjectName starts at offset X in the structure, and ObjectQMgrName starts at offset Y, according to the definition. it is up to the caller to create the data in the memptr in a way that matches this structure. There are probably decent references online that explain the way structures are stored in memory. I would point you to the Wikipedia entries on "C structures" and "C structure alignment", but there are probably better tutorials. Someone in the OE community might have written a tool to assist structures, but OE does not provide this functionality by default. As I mentioned previously, once you start calling DLLs, you have to do the heavy lifting yourself.
