Conditional Compile query 1

[PaulBarter]

I've developed a program that uses the mouse wheel by utilising calls to SetPropa etc. to hook messages in VB6 (there may be a better way, but it works).
Unfortunately this makes debugging impossible a lot of the time, so I use conditional compile statements to turn this off while developing, and then turn it back on when I make the exe. (I can manage without the scrolling while developing).

I was just wondering if there was any way using #If ... #EndIF to tell the difference between whether I'm using the Run option or the Make option? It would save me having to remember to change my #Const

Are you looking to see if your program is running within the IDE or not? I pulled this code from (

https://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?231468-VB-Detect-if-you-are-running-in-the-IDE):

    Option Explicit
     
    Function RunningInVB() As Boolean
    'Returns whether we are running in vb(true), or compiled (false)
     
        Static counter As Variant
        If IsEmpty(counter) Then
            counter = 1
            Debug.Assert RunningInVB() Or True
            counter = counter - 1
        ElseIf counter = 1 Then
            counter = 0
        End If
        RunningInVB = counter
     
    End Function
     
    'Usage:
    MsgBox RunningInVB

Thanks, great idea. That will do the job.
