Inactive code colors not working properly

[John5788]

Hello,

I am on SlickEdit 2011 (v16.0.3.0) and I am noticing an issue with #defines and inactive code.

Here is a sample of what I am seeing



The part I am curious about is how come the defines for DEFINE_FALSE and DEFINE_TRUE don't work as intended? I am only able to see inactive code if i explicitly use #if 0, #if 1, #if TRUE, #if FALSE. I am not seeing same results if using defined values.

Unfortunately, this is a known limitation of the editor. I would love it if SE supported color-coding based on the current status of #defines, but apparently the amount of overhead to do that is prohibitive.

Here is a link to a prior discussion on this topic: http://community.slickedit.com/index.php/topic,5375.msg22479.html#msg22479

Have a close look at this thread

If you enter your #defines into the preprocessor list (tools -> options - search for preprocessor and select the c++ one), then your coloring will work.
