+We currently do not support conversion of reference types. But you can
+simple use a struct instead of a class:
+
+[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit, Size=8)]
+internal struct VectorList
+{
+    [FieldOffset(0)] internal int a;
+    [FieldOffset(4)] internal int b;
+}
+
+and in C++ return the struct by value:
+
+VectorList getVectorList(x_Button* ptr)
+{
+    cout << "C++ getVectorList() returns " << &(ptr->vectorList) << endl;
+    return ptr->vectorList;
+}
+
