I think you want to automatically include files according to the compiler.
Here is the macro for Turbo C++ which I think is provided by the compiler:
__MSDOS__

So you would write:

#ifdef __MSDOS__<br />
#include "msdos.h" //whatever<br />
#else<br />
#include "other.h"<br />
#endif

this is this.

at compile time , _MSDOS_ would be true("defined") ,if its run in DOS right??

i think either you don't undertand or you don't know what is the preprocessor.
the preprocessor creates a version of the file that is passed then to the compiler. but the compiler don't see exactly the file as you wrote it !!

lets take an example. if you have this :

#if defined(MY_MACRO)
#include "file1.h"
#else
#include "file2.h"
#endif

now, if you have MY_MACRO defined, the compiler will see :

#include "file1.h"

if not, it will see :

#include "file2.h"

but never the compiler sees the preprocessor directives.

2 things to try to demonstrate (on more time D'Oh! | :doh:

) that you're wrong :

on the link you provide, it tells that the macro is not defined by VisualC++ compiler :

__MSDOS__       Turbo C, Borland C, and DJGPP

the second thing is that, even if the compiler sets this macro, the program won't be able to determine while running, if it is launched from windows, or from a plain MS-DOS console. such a test must be done a runtime, not compile time, and even less a preprocessing time.

The original poster asked to include a file depending on the environment. But now it seems that he wants to know the OS at runtime. So you are right.

this is this.

then whats the use of

i don't know for __GNUC__
but i think the WIN32 macro tells the compiler that the target of the program will be Windows 95 (or later).
now if you #define __MSDOS__ (or such a macro), even if the program is build to be run on DOS (command line), it doesn't forbid anyone to run it under Windows XP for example. isn't it what you want ?

GetMenu() returns NULL for Visual Studio 2003

Owner drawn22-Dec-05 22:02

22-Dec-05 22:02

I am making an Application analyzer.

It involves analyzing menu structure of an application too.

For acrobat reader it doesn't return any text for a menu. I am getting the menu items correctly but no text. So tree nodes are empty. I guess it could be because it is "ownerdrawn" (not me Poke tongue | ;-P

).

But For Visual studio 2003 GetMenu returns NULL.

For Other windows it's working fine. For eg: Yahoo messenger.

Any ideas why this's happening. D'Oh! | :doh:

Happy christmas friends. May the Love of My Lord and Saviour Jesus bring forth Joy and Happiness into your life too.

GetMenu does not work on floating menu bars. Floating menu bars are custom controls that mimic standard menus; they are not menus. To get the handle on a floating menu bar, use the Active Accessibility APIs.
