What is cbSize?

[KBBJ]

I want to use an Api, called DrawTextEx. If I should be able to use this Api, I must declare a Type as DRAWTEXTPARAMS.
It looks like this:
Public Type DRAWTEXTPARAMS
cbSize As Long
iTabLength As Long
iLeftMargin As Long
iRightMargin As Long
uiLengthDrawn As Long
End Type
On Microsoft’s homepage, I can read that: "The cbSize specifies the structure size, in bytes."...Okay !? (It doesn’t help me reading that.)
Could someone please give an example on using this cbSize?

I am surprised I got it right. I typed it using two fingers and it looked alright but
"guses" and "beacuse". Geesh! Dexlysia?
