Post From: Chart Calculator in ACSIL

This has been a bit confusing for me as well.

All of the DT_ enums are in fact, not in ACSIL, but rather part of Windows.

So, I'm trying to understand how the Input menus for the lines tools (List for Horizontal and Vertical) are created.

For the Horizontal Ray property:
Horizontal: Right and Left
Vertical: Above, Below, and Center

For the Chart Calculator:
Horizontal: Left, Right, Auto
Vertical: Above, Below, Auto, and Edge

I get the impression that each tool was developed by hand and not using enums with fixed ranges that can be easily referenced in each study.

Might be nice to see the DT_ in the scstructures.h file and I'm hoping to find a good example of how to build the lists for alignment in a consistent manner that will work with whatever tool is chosen and since each tool has been implemented differently, it seems to me that it would be nice to either fix that (make them all standard with all the same alignment options) or to make the alignment options based on the tool chosen (some function that will look at the tool selected and pull back the proper list options for the new study input dialogs.
