Example code for the id INSTANCEOBJECT_RENDERINSTANCE_MODE in Oinstance

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

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

Resource File Code (Oinstance.res)


LONG  INSTANCEOBJECT_RENDERINSTANCE_MODE
{
                        
    CYCLE 
    {         INSTANCEOBJECT_RENDERINSTANCE_MODE_NONE; 
        INSTANCEOBJECT_RENDERINSTANCE_MODE_SINGLEINSTANCE; 
        INSTANCEOBJECT_RENDERINSTANCE_MODE_MULTIINSTANCE; 
    }
}
            

Header File Code (Oinstance.h)

#ifndef OINSTANCE_H__
#define OINSTANCE_H__
enum
{
  INSTANCEOBJECT_RENDERINSTANCE_MODE = 1000,  //First ID should start at 1000
    INSTANCEOBJECT_RENDERINSTANCE_MODE_NONE = 1,
    INSTANCEOBJECT_RENDERINSTANCE_MODE_SINGLEINSTANCE = 2,
    INSTANCEOBJECT_RENDERINSTANCE_MODE_MULTIINSTANCE = 3,
};
#endif	// OINSTANCE_H__

String File Code (Oinstance.str)

// C4D-StringResource
// Identifier	Text
STRINGTABLE
{
  INSTANCEOBJECT_RENDERINSTANCE_MODE    "InstanceMode";
    INSTANCEOBJECT_RENDERINSTANCE_MODE_NONE    "Instance";
    INSTANCEOBJECT_RENDERINSTANCE_MODE_SINGLEINSTANCE    "RenderInstance";
