Title: IDE Window: Conditional Defines

OldNewLine
1+Utility to assist in inserting conditional defines. For example, to convert
2+```
3+OnCreate := @CreateHandler
4+```
5+
6+to:
7+```
8+OnCreate := {$IFDEF FPC} @ {$ENDIF} CreateHandler
9+```
10+
11+select **@** and then use **Edit** , insert **$IFDEF** (default shortcut Ctrl+Shift+D), select "FPC,NONE" and hit return. If you select one or more complete lines then the conditional defines are put on sepearate lines as in:
12+```
13+{$IFDEF DEBUG}
14+ Writeln('State= ', State)
15+ {$ENDIF}
16+```
17+
18+The choices are listed in abbreviated form so:
19+
20+ * MSWINDOWS,UNIX => {$IFDEF MSWINDOWS} ... {$ENDIF} {$IFDEF UNIX} ... {$ENDIF}
21+ * FPC,ELSE => {$IFDEF FPC} ... {$ELSE} ... {$ENDIF}
22+ * DEBUG,NONE => {$IFDEF DEBUG} ... {$ENDIF}
23+
24+This tool is most useful when you need to put several identical conditionals in a file, you can add to the possible conditionals by selecting or typing the required symbols in "First test" and /or "Second test" and using the **Add** button.
25+
26+Your additons are saved in the condef.xml file in the lazarus configuration directory.
