This depends on the particular function declaration. There is no generic
answer.

Overloads and double check that the Registry classes provided by .NET
doesn't provide what you are after...

There isn't one. If you want to send multiple types to a declare
statement, you do it by overloading the declare statement. Contrived
example follows:

Private Declare Function Foo Lib "MyLib.dll" (ByRef i As Integer) As
Integer
Private Declare Function Foo Lib "MyLib.dll" (ByRef i As SomeStructure)
As Integer
.....
