Parameters

Name Type Description
dialogID LONGINT The ID of the dialog in which to create the control.
itemID LONGINT The item ID of the control.
symbolName STRING The name of the symbol to display.
renderMode INTEGER The render mode in which to display the symbol.
view INTEGER The standard view in which to display the symbol.

Examples

VectorScript

CreateSymbolDisplayControl( 5, 6, 'Chair', 350, 200, 5, 11, 9 );
{Other code}
UpdateSymbolDisplayControl( 5, 6, 'Chair', 0, 3 );

This creates a dialog control that displays the symbol called "Chair."  The control is 350 pixels high and 200 pixels wide, with a margin of 5 pixels.  The symbol is rendered in OpenGL mode and displayed in a right isometric view.  It then later updates the control to display the same symbol rendered in Wireframe in a front view.
