Example code for the id XGEN_DRAWMODE 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)


LONG  XGEN_DRAWMODE

        XGEN_DRAWMODE_BOTH; 
        XGEN_DRAWMODE_RENDERONLY; 
    }
