multiple preprocessor defines on one file IFC 8

[tonyjay68]

when preprocessing a file , ie. test1.fpp :

In CVF6.6 to have twoMacros/symbols defined on one file they are separated by a comma in the IDE. i.e.

SYMBOL1,SYMBOL2

The 'context balloon help' tells you this !

This does not work in IFC8 in visual studio.net (it reports an error with @MACROS

The CVF project is converted to SYMBOL1,SYMBOL2

So

1. I don't know how to do it in the new environment

2. the project converter should have converted this to a new format as well (In my opinion)

3. Is there context help in.net for IFC. I do not seem to have any fortran help files at all. May be it is because I downloaded the product.

Does anyone have a workaround ?

Tony,

You're right, the project converter missed this change. The new way is to separate the symbols witha semicolon. You can also use the "..." list button to create a list.

The context-sensitive help displays at the bottom of the properties box without your needing to press anything. But I admit that here it is deficient. I'll pass along this problem to the developers.
