struct MyClassData

    #ifndef WIN32
        RGBColor   myColor
    #else
        COLORREF   myColor
        char       padding1[2] <--- Here we needed padding because COLORREF
                                    is 4 bytes and RGBColor is 6
    #endif

    Boolean       myBoolean;
    int           myInt;
};
