Hy there,

here is another annoying problem, I very often run into.

Here is an excerpt of a resource file:

LONG NM_SPACE    { CYCLE { NM_SPACE_TANGENT; NM_SPACE_OBJECT; NM_SPACE_WORLD; } }
       LONG NM_ENCODE { CYCLE { NM_ENCODE_TO_NORMAL_MAP_RANGE; NM_ENCODE_NONE; } }
       LONG NM_OUTPUT_FORMAT_MAPPING { CYCLE { NM_8BIT_RGB; NM_16BIT_RGB; NM_32BIT_RGB; } }

Now, somehow I end up with 3 Drop-Down boxes, but the "NM_ENCODE" and the "NM_OUTPUT_FORMAT_MAPPING" have *both* the values of the NM_OUTPUT_FORMAT_MAPPING!

The String for the NM_ENCODE is correctly "Encode", but the values of the Drop-Box are the values of the following Box ...

What can I do to fix this?

Could the problem be the formatting of my Headerfile? I have seen that style in another file, but now I am not really sure if this could be the source:

NM_SOMETHING_ELSE = 0,
NM_SPACE,
    NM_SPACE_TANGENT = 0,
    NM_SPACE_OBJECT,
    NM_SPACE_WORLD,
NM_OUTPUT_FORMAT_MAPPING,
    NM_8BIT_RGB = 0,
    NM_16BIT_RGB,
    NM_32BIT_RGB,

NM_CAGE_ENABLE,
NM_CAGE_OFFSET,
NM_ENCODE,
    NM_ENCODE_TO_NORMAL_MAP_RANGE = 0,
    NM_ENCODE_NONE,
...

Do I have to go through with the numbering?

Thank you,
maxx

My immediate reaction is that the style used in the header file is liable to cause problems somewhere. If I understand correctly the use of enum in C++, then some of your symbols are going to have the same value. For example, the following symbols all have the value 3:

NM_OUTPUT_FORMAT_MAPPING,
    NM_CAGE_ENABLE,
    NM_SAVE_INCREMENTAL,
    NM_NORMALIZE,

This is because you reset the number to zero at several points (which doesn't matter for the CYCLE drop-downs) but then you let the incremental numbering just carry on into the rest of the symbols. You might get away with this but IMO it's far better to number the symbols explicitly. The compiler will warn you about duplicated values if you do that, it won't with the way you're doing it.

You could try renumbering them all manually and see if it fixes the problem.

Hy spedler,

thanx for the hint, I did a through numbering now, with good results ;)

So, never stop numbering ...

As spedler pointed out, explicit numbering is the best way. Whenever you set a value in an enum, the unset values following it take increments of that value. You ended up with:

NM_SOMETHING_ELSE = 0,
NM_SPACE = 1,
      NM_SPACE_TANGENT = 0,
      NM_SPACE_OBJECT = 1,
      NM_SPACE_WORLD = 2,
NM_OUTPUT_FORMAT_MAPPING = 3,
      NM_8BIT_RGB = 0,
      NM_16BIT_RGB = 1,
      NM_32BIT_RGB = 2,

NM_CAGE_ENABLE = 3,
NM_CAGE_OFFSET = 4,
NM_ENCODE = 5,
NM_ENCODE_TO_NORMAL_MAP_RANGE = 0,
NM_ENCODE_NONE = 1,

For Description IDs, I always start at either 1000 or 2000 and make every one explicit. This way you can avoid these type of auto-errors.
