Hi,

I'm encountering a problem with my Custom Wizard.
I have created a Wizard that works fine on Visual C++ 2002.
Due to our migration to 2003, I want to port it on 2003.
I followed the advices given in the MSDN porting guide. But a problem
occurs.....

I have many [!if xxxx], [!else] and [!endif] statements.
With 2003, my generated source files are completeley messy : my "if" is
always true even thought my condition is not true. The "else" part is never
copied.
I have seen that instead of using [!if xxxx] I use [!if xxx != 0], my
problem disappears.

Am I doing something wrong ? Is there something I have missed ? Or is it a
change / bug in 2003 ?

Thanks for your help,

F.P.

Hi,

>Am I doing something wrong ? Is there something I have missed ?

Would you please provide some related code snippet for research, it depends
on what's the object xxxx do you use in [ !if ] directive, if you it is
some object like string value, then you would need to use the [!if xxxx !=
0] expression.

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi Gary,

Thanks for your help.
I have different cases : Strings, BOOL, etc...and in these cases the same
problem occurs.
It's not only related to strings.
How can I proceed to provide you some sources ? I don't reaaly want to post
that here ;-)

Thanks,

F.P.

yes, this is by design. In Visual Studio 2003, the [!if xxxx] should be
applied to the case of checking the specific control option, if you want to
check a symbol's value(e.g. string, bool, ...), then you need to use the
[!if xxxx != 0] syntax, please refer to the sample code of the following
MSDN article:

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. I
think it could be interesting to update the web-page with the comments you
sent me. I mean by making clearly the distinction you have described Control
/ Value :
"the [!if xxxx] should be applied to the case of checking the specific
control option, if you want to check a symbol's value(e.g. string, bool,
...), then you need to use the [!if xxxx != 0] syntax"

Thanks,

F.P.
