Example code for the id XGEN_ROTMODE in Oxpgenerator

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

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

Resource File Code (Oxpgenerator.res)

        XGEN_ROTMODE_SOURCE; 
        XGEN_ROTMODE_OFFSET; 
    }
