For C++,VB Developers.

How to detect in VC++ code that USER is debugging the code? i.e User is in NSDEV Environment debugging with F10, F11 keys etc.

Can you clirfy this question a little? Are you looking for information regarding the Macros? I can tell you about Visual C++. In VC++ 5.0 and 6.0 (I haven't tried 7.0 but I assume it's the same), "_DEBUG" is defined (without the quotes) when the current program is compiled in debug mode. If you are talking about the C++ code and not the macros, you can use this with other Preprocessor directives in the code like this:

#ifdef _DEBUG
// put your debug code here
#else
// put you normal code here fr Release mode
#endif

or:

#ifndef _DEBUG
// Put your release code here
#else
// Put you debug here
#endif

I would look up the #ifdef/#else/#endif for information. I hope this helps. I don't know enough about VB to tell you what to do.
