Example code for the id METABALLTAG_TYPE in Tmetaball

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

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

Resource File Code (Tmetaball.res)


LONG  METABALLTAG_TYPE
{
                        
    CYCLE 
    {         METABALLTAG_TYPE_SPHERE; 
        METABALLTAG_TYPE_LINE; 
        METABALLTAG_TYPE_TRIANGLE; 
    }
}
            

Header File Code (Tmetaball.h)

    METABALLTAG_TYPE_TRIANGLE = 3,
