                    The Resource Compiler #if Directive
 
#if constant-expression
 
The #if directive controls conditional compilation of the resource file by
checking the specified constant expression. If the constant expression is
nonzero, #if directs the compiler to continue processing statements up to
the next #endif, #else, or #elif directive and then skip to the statement
after the #endif directive. If the constant expression is zero, #if directs
the compiler to skip to the next #endif, #else, or #elif directive.
 
Field                Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
constant-expression  Specifies the expression to be checked. This value is a
                     defined name, an integer constant, or an expression
                     consisting of names, integers, and arithmetic and
                     relational operators.
 
Example

name "Version" is less than 3.
