Remarks

Sharing code between a WINDEV Mobile application and a WINDEV application or a WEBDEV site

InWindowsMobileMode allows you to share source code between WINDEV, WINDEV Mobile and WEBDEV.
During the compilation, the functions that cannot be used in WINDEV Mobile will be signaled in the "Code" pane. However, no runtime error will be triggered by these functions.
For example, the following code is shared between a WINDEV Mobile application and a WINDEV application.
MyParameterFile is string
// Code run from the WINDEV Mobile application?
IF InWindowsMobileMode() = True THEN
// WINDEV Mobile application
MyParameterFile = "\MyFiles\Param.INI"
ELSE
// WINDEV application
MyParameterFile = fCurrentDir() + "\Param.INI"
END
During the compilation, an error will be displayed in the "Code" pane to indicate that fCurrentDir is not allowed in Windows Mobile. However, no runtime error will occur when the application is used on a mobile device: indeed, fCurrentDir will never be called.

Running processes containing compilation errors

By default, the security mechanism of WLanguage is triggered only if the line containing the compilation error is run.
For example, if a function not allowed in the current product is found in a loop (IF), the security mechanism of WLanguage will be triggered only if the line containing this function is run.

Availability of the function

InWindowsMobileMode can be used in all IDEs to allow for cross-platform code. Functions or procedures that use InWindowsMobileMode can be shared between several products without generating any compilation error.
