Example code for the id ID_VERTEXCOLOR_VERTEXCOLORMODE in Tvertexcolor

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

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

Resource File Code (Tvertexcolor.res)


LONG  ID_VERTEXCOLOR_VERTEXCOLORMODE
{
                        
    CYCLE 
    {         ID_VERTEXCOLOR_VERTEXCOLORMODE_VERTEX; 
        ID_VERTEXCOLOR_VERTEXCOLORMODE_POLYGON; 
    }
}
            

Header File Code (Tvertexcolor.h)

#ifndef TVERTEXCOLOR_H__
#define TVERTEXCOLOR_H__

  ID_VERTEXCOLOR_VERTEXCOLORMODE = 1000,  //First ID should start at 1000
    ID_VERTEXCOLOR_VERTEXCOLORMODE_VERTEX = 1,
    ID_VERTEXCOLOR_VERTEXCOLORMODE_POLYGON = 2,
};
#endif	// TVERTEXCOLOR_H__

String File Code (Tvertexcolor.str)
