Example code for the id MGCOLORSHADER_MODE in Xmg_color

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

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

Resource File Code (Xmg_color.res)


LONG  MGCOLORSHADER_MODE
{
                        
    CYCLE 
    {         MGCOLORSHADER_MODE_COLOR; 
        MGCOLORSHADER_MODE_INDEXRATIO; 
    }
}
            

Header File Code (Xmg_color.h)

#ifndef XMG_COLOR_H__
#define XMG_COLOR_H__

{
  MGCOLORSHADER_MODE = 1000,  //First ID should start at 1000
    MGCOLORSHADER_MODE_COLOR = 1,
    MGCOLORSHADER_MODE_INDEXRATIO = 2,
};
#endif	// XMG_COLOR_H__
