Example code for the id BITMAPSHADER_TIMING_MODE 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_TIMING_MODE

        BITMAPSHADER_TIMING_MODE_PINGPONG; 
    }
}
