I guess that shouldn't be a problem. If I just paste out the relevant code.
The labels are declared at the global level:
const char *cy_lab2[]=
{
"Normal","Bold","Shadow","Outline","Outline2",NULL
};
Then the only place where they are used is the creation of the gadgets:
dlg[8]=CreateContext(listagad);
ng.ng_LeftEdge=xsize*30+5;
ng.ng_TopEdge=ysize*2;
ng.ng_GadgetText="Menus";
ng.ng_Width=xsize*13;
gad[11]=CreateGadget(CYCLE_KIND,dlg[8],&ng,GTCY_Labels,(ULONG)
cy_lab2,GTCY_Active, txttype,TAG_END);
and so on for the other cycle gadgets....
