Problem with Code Highlighting with Preprocessor Statements in Visual Studio

0.00/5 (No votes)

Some weirdness in Visual Studio 2008 with code highlighting when using preprocessor #if statements.

//.h
// #define VIRTUALMODE 0
#define VIRTUALMODE 1
// #define VIRTUALMODE 2

//.cpp
#if (VIRTUALMODE == 0)
  ...
#endif
#if (VIRTUALMODE == 1)
  ...
#endif
#if (VIRTUALMODE == 2)
  ...
#endif

It does what I expect it to do when running. But VS always "greys out" cases 1 & 2, irrespective of what #define is active. Any ideas?
