generated dynamically by expo itself.

Programmatic creation of many items in a loop can be handled by allocating space in the enum for a maximum number of items, then adding the loop count to the enum values to obtain unique IDs. +Where dynamic IDs are need, use expo_set_dynamic_start() to set the start value, +so that they are allocated above the starting (enum) IDs. + All text strings are stored in a structure attached to the expo, referenced by a text ID. This makes it easier at some point to implement multiple languages or to support Unicode strings. |
