I have a symbol #defined in the project settings. But code inside a #ifdef block using that symbol is colored grey to indicate it would not be compiled.
#ifdef someSymbol
#include "file1.h"
#include "file2.h"
....
#endif
(sorry, had to use Teal, since Grey is not a forum color...)
Any ideas what can cause this? May be a relatively recent thing as I thought older versions were working fine, but can't confirm.
We're not using property sheets or anything else funky. I've double-checked property settings for the currently active config to verify that the define is there. |

Thanks. Deleting the NCB file fixed it. |

You can turn off this feature here:
IDE tools menu -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> Formatting -> Colorize inactive code blocks in a different color
if you don't like it. |

Ahh, thanks. I shall investigate Visual Studio then. |

This coloring is done by Visual Studio. It was introduced in Visual Studio 2005. You may also upgraded Visual Studio at some point.
This gray-out works even without Visual Assist. |
