Example code for the id RDATA_FORMATDEPTH in Drendersettings

Note that this is not the actual code from the Drendersettings file.

This code is just an example to show you how to add a similar control to your own description.

Resource File Code (Drendersettings.res)


LONG  RDATA_FORMATDEPTH
{
ANIM  OFF;                          
    CYCLE 
    {         RDATA_FORMATDEPTH_8; 
        RDATA_FORMATDEPTH_16; 
        RDATA_FORMATDEPTH_32; 
    }
}
            

Header File Code (Drendersettings.h)

#ifndef DRENDERSETTINGS_H__
#define DRENDERSETTINGS_H__
enum
{
  RDATA_FORMATDEPTH = 1000,  //First ID should start at 1000
    RDATA_FORMATDEPTH_8 = 1,
    RDATA_FORMATDEPTH_16 = 2,
    RDATA_FORMATDEPTH_32 = 3,
};
#endif	// DRENDERSETTINGS_H__

String File Code (Drendersettings.str)

// C4D-StringResource
