Let's see... pswblk is of type PSWBLOCK, which is a pointer to an SWBLOCK.

Oops!  The '.' operator has higher precedence than the '*' operator, so
this gets parsed as:

   *(pswblk.aswentry.swctl.szSwtitl)

which is, of course, wrong.

This is a valid error message, since the operand of the dot operator is
pswblk, which is not a struct but is a pointer to struct.

No, sorry!

Well, the parser is on the ball here.

Try instead:

   (*pswblk).aswentry.swctl.szSwtitl

which is merely awful style but is valid C syntax.  More standard would be:

   pswblk->aswentry.swctl.szSwtitl
