Device or Desktop

[DaveW]

Is there a simple way to determine if the program is running on a Device or Desktop - one which will allow the compiler to use/omit code?

For example, I have

img1clk.New1(img1obj.value,"MouseClick")

in my program but this has to be

img1clk.New1(img1obj.value,"MouseDown")

on the Device. I don't want to have to edit this (and remember what to edit) every time I transfer the program to the device or back again.

In Delphi they have
{$IFDEF VER130}
do this
{$ELSE}
do that
{$ENDIF}

is there something similar in Basic4PPC?

try the "cPPC = true" constant :
If cPPC = true Then
' running on the PPC
Else
'running on the Desktop
End If

img1clk.New1(img1obj.value,"MouseDown")

This will work on the desktop as well. In general what works on a device will work on the desktop but not vice versa. The Compact Framework on the device is a higly compatible subset of the full Framework. This is why a lot of code, libraries and even compiled exes, intended for the device will actually run on the desktop.
