Conditional Coding

[Mc Brain]

I think there's a way to perfom something if you're debugging or not. I thought it was sth. like:

#If Debug Then
  'Code here
#End If

However, this doesn't work. What's the way to do this?

What do you mean "it doesn't work"? Debug is an IDE object, so that may be your problem.

[Mc Brain]

Thanks, I know that. What's the proper way to do this?

[crptcblade]

#If DEBUGGING Then
  'Code here
#End If

Should be fine. Then define a conditional const called DEBUGGING in either the project properties, or at the top of the code module.

#Const DEBUGGING = True

[Mc Brain]

Ok, but doesn't that mean the I should turn the Const to False just before compiling?

[crptcblade]

Yup

[Mc Brain]

Thought so! I was looking for an automatic way. Thanks!

Another way to accomplish the same thing is to go to Project|Properties|Make and put something like DEBUGGING = 1 in the Conditional Compilation Arguments: box. To turn off any conditional statements simply change the argument to DEBUGGING = 0.
