How do you list the display modes? is there anywhere that gives good explanations about the proper usage of things? Cos I dont think things are clear enought

I recommend to dig in this forum, the DBPro forum, the DBPro help files, the Code Snippets forum, and all around again.

I haven't tested this, it is IanM's code & tips (posted in this forum):

Quote: "The globstruct has the following items included:"




Quote: "The checklist variable is a pointer to an array of GlobCheclistStruct items containing the data - the definition of that structure is also in globstruct.h near the top.
Here's a quick 2 minute example:"

yes i checked that, which I use for something else. But display modes have 3 different values and arent strings.

I have dug about the forum, didnt find the answer so thats why I posted this

True but the checklist structure has room for 4 integer values and 4 float values too - it's those integer values that you'd use.

ah thats excellent mate thank you for that.

Also if anyone looking at this knows, how do you properly multilayer an object? ie a base layer, then using an opacity mask or summit put a layer of 'dirt' on the bottom of the image. Then a bump map?

Alternative solution: You can do the display mode query without using globstruct. The dbCheckListQuantity function gives you the size of the list, then you can get the 3 integer values with dbCheckListValueA(index), dbCheckListValueB(index), dbCheckListValueC(index).
