Title: ?define question
Post by: Gary on 2010-Jan-19

I have checked the manual, searched for forums but cannot see where I am going wrong when I try to use ?DEFINE

I am porting some C code and it has heavy use of #DEFINE which I assumed I could just swap for ?DEFINE but it seems im doing something wrong

This is some example code

Code (glbasic) Select

	?DEFINE SPIN_TO_WIN 1
	PRINT SPIN_TO_WIN,0,0
	SHOWSCREEN
	KEYWAIT

and this displays 0 instead of the 1 I expected.

Thanks for your help

Gary

?DEFINE'd variables can't be accessed from GLBasic - they are really for changing what gets compiled.

If you want to convert #DEFINE, you would use CONSTANT
