Clear Mode

The "Clear Mode" item can be created via "Solution Explorer" panel by using the context menu option ("Add" > "New Item"). In this way, all its specific properties ("Clear Color", "Enable Color Write", "Enable Depth Clear" and "Enable Stencil Clear") are related with just one item instead of being included among many other properties of every render target.

A Clear Mode Palette View is available in Solution Options. By using it ("File" > "Solution Options"), it is possible to create different clear mode items which can be saved and later reused.

If there are many render targets which are referencing the same clear mode item, it is enough to modify just one time the desired property rather than modifying every of them.

After the creation of a "Clear Mode" item, it can be used after being referenced from a specific Render Target. This operation can be done by using the "Clear Mode" property available in the "Properties" panel associated with any available render target.
