Example code for the id BITMAPSHADER_COLORPROFILE in Xbitmap

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

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

Resource File Code (Xbitmap.res)


LONG  BITMAPSHADER_COLORPROFILE
{
                        
    CYCLE 
    {         BITMAPSHADER_COLORPROFILE_EMBEDDED; 
        BITMAPSHADER_COLORPROFILE_LINEAR; 
        BITMAPSHADER_COLORPROFILE_SRGB; 
        BITMAPSHADER_COLORPROFILE_CUSTOM; 
    }
}
            

Header File Code (Xbitmap.h)

#ifndef XBITMAP_H__
#define XBITMAP_H__

  BITMAPSHADER_COLORPROFILE = 1000,  //First ID should start at 1000
    BITMAPSHADER_COLORPROFILE_EMBEDDED = 1,

    BITMAPSHADER_COLORPROFILE_SRGB = 3,
    BITMAPSHADER_COLORPROFILE_CUSTOM = 4,

#endif	// XBITMAP_H__
