How do I get a combo box when setting up perameter descriptions.

For example
        STATICTEXT MY_STATIC { ANIM OFF; }

gives me a static text,

and

BUTTON MY_BUTTON {}

would give me a button, what is the element type for a combo box?

Thanks in advance,

~Shawn

LONG with a CYCLE {} defined in it for static selections.

You can dynamically fill the combo box elements if you implement GetDDescription() and fill in a BaseContainer assigned to the DESC_CYCLE element of a BaseContainer used for the description definitions (set in description->SetParameter()).

No group borders in the AM (like in Dialogs). You can 'separate' groups with SEPARATOR { LINE; } in the description resource file.

Tab groups are only considered at the top level (along with Basic and Coord.). In order for the group to be tabbed at this level, it must have an ID and a string in the description header and string files.

I really wish that sub Tab groups were possible as it would make organization a bit more clean. You can make sub groups foldable by following the same guidelines above for Tab groups and adding DEFAULT 0; (or 1;) to denote the group as foldable.

The error is in the ttruesymmetry.h file. You have posted the source code of the *.res file, which looks ok.

Please post the source code of the ttruesymmetry.h file.

cheers,
