Macro from C/C++ to PB

[Olav]

How can C/C++ statements like

#ifndef IDC_STATIC
#define IDC_STATIC (-1)
#ENDIF

#define IDD_DIALOG1 100

be converted PB using a macro?

Thanks in advance!

It's explained in the help file under %Def()

Yes, thank you. I know how to rewrite these statements to PB equivalent
statements, but that was not what I was asking for.

I was looking for a solution where these C/C++ directives could be
placed within a PB macro, so that the compiler would be able to cope
with them. If so both the resource compiler and the PB compiler could
use the same header file. Since a macroname can't start with a #, it
looks to me that it isn't possible to do what I had in mind, so I asked
in case there was a solution to it though. And I can't find such a
soulution to it in the help file.

Thanks for your time!

I can't think of a solution for that either. There would have to be at
least one precompiler directive that both could use.

I don't know your exact objective, but you could use a batch file for
conditional compilation, or to translate the C/C++ file on the fly right
before compilation. I'm guessing you want to make sure that both
compilers use the same include file, or at least the same constants that
are defined in it.

Don't know if this would be helpful...

I'm primarily an MS Excel VBA developer who, on occasion, uses VB6 for
some dev work. There are specific differences between Classic VB and
VBA even though they implement the same syntax for coding. That means
that if I want to share code modules (ergo storing only 1 file instead
of 2) between the two I need to write separate lines for each
discipline. Then I can just comment out the inappropriate lines before
compiling. Fortunately, the compiler reminds me if I forget!<g>
