Re: How do I use different version values in executables?

I did this all through the resource editor years ago, but cant remember how
to do it now. I dont remember having any #if previously. But I still dont
understand what/where to add any conditionals. There's a CONDITION property
for the version resource. I though I could add an ID there and then use this
ID in the preprocessor definitions.
As far as 'multi-posting', I didnt see any 'rules' about how/when to post
questions. I use IE to read/post and I didnt see a cross-post option. I
would've never thought to put this in vc.mfc because its not an mfc question
(or I wouldnt think it was). Also some groups are viewed more often than
others. Also, who knows whats a visual studio question vs a vc++ question.
But regardless, my goal is to get my question answered versus annoying anyone.
Charles:
Is this not an MFC application? While some kind of conditionals can be achieved
via the IDE, I have always found it much easier (and more robust) to do these
things in the .rc2 file.
There may not be an option to cross-post in the web interface. But if you want
to use these newsgroups, you will find it much better to do it via a newsreader.
It's a bit of a hassle to set up the first time, but after that it is trivial to
add new groups, and the process of asking and answering questions is much much
more efficient. And you can participate in many groups on many different servers
right in the same application.
No matter what, multi-posting is just not a good idea. It is very annoying for
the people who read these groups (and try to answer questions), and it is not
helpful for the original poster because the discussion is fragmented into
different threads that are not aware of each other.
