This member defines a single item (enumerator) within the enum or set member. Item members are represented in Composer by following bricks:

Please note, an item member can exist within an enum or set member only.

To add a new item into an existing enum member, do following:

Adding a new item to an enum member.

To add a new item into an existing set member, do following:

Adding a new item to a set member.

Please note the limitation of max. 32 item members within a single set member.

During the code generation, Embedded Wizard associates every item with an individual number. In case of items enclosed within an enum member, this process starts with the value 0 for the first item, 1 for the second, 2 for the third and so far. In case of items enclosed within a set member, this process starts with the value 1 for the first item, 2 for the second, 4 for the third and so far - always power of two values. The numbering is performed strictly according to the order in which the particular items are defined within the enum/set member.

If desired, you can override this automatism and specify in its attribute Default another numeric value to associate with a particular item. Please note, the assignment affects the numbering of all consecutive items. For example, if you have specified the value 1369 for an enum item, the next following item will be associated with the value 1370 unless you have assigned another value to this member too.

You can create any number of copies of an already existing enum item member. In case of items existing in a set member, max. 32 item members are allowed.

The name of the item member can be used within Chora expressions to form a literal of the corresponding enumeration data type or set data type.

The following table shows the complete list of attributes provided by the enum/set item member:

Attribute name	Short description
Brick	Determines the position and the size of a enum member brick within the Composer window.
Default	Determines the constant integer value to associate with the enum/set item.
Description	Contains the description for the enum member.

This section describes the Chora syntax of how enum/set items are stored inside Embedded Wizard project files. The knowledge about the syntax can be helpful when you plan to process the project contents by third party tools. In particular, the general purpose Export and Import functionality introduced in version 14 requires a good understanding of how project members are represented in Chora syntax to correctly interpret the exported members and synthesize the Chora code for members to import. Please note, Embedded Wizard project files (and thus Chora code) are encoded as text in UTF-8 format.

In Chora syntax, the item definition is always introduced with the keyword item, followed by the name of the item and optionally its value. In the case, the value is specified, the name and the value are separated by an assignment operator =. The item definition terminates with ; semicolon sign. Wherever necessary, the tokens are separated by whitespace signs. The value corresponds to the content of the attribute Default.

The definition of an item can be initiated by a comment block providing optional description for the item. The content of this comment corresponds to the value of the item's attribute Description. Furthermore the directive $rect can be specified providing value for the corresponding attribute Brick. The following example demonstrates the described syntax:

Each Chora file (or text exchanged with an external Export and/or Import tool) can be (or even should be) prefixed with $version directive. This directive determines the version number of the included Chora code. For details concerning the syntax of the version please see the chapter $version macro. Furthermore, the code can include a $scope directive followed by a path to a project member acting as the original owner of the corresponding code. That means the members described by the Chora code existed inside the member specified in $scope. In case of an item, $scope would specify the name of the enum or set the item belongs to.
