IsInIDE

Returns True if the code is currently executing inside the twinBASIC IDE, or False if it is running as a compiled executable. Read-only.

Syntax: object.IsInIDE

object

required An object expression that evaluates to an _App object. In practice this is the global App object.

Use IsInIDE to branch between IDE-only debug behaviour and production behaviour without requiring a conditional compilation constant. Unlike #If directives, IsInIDE is evaluated at runtime, so the same compiled binary can detect its own run-time context.

Example

This example skips a lengthy initialisation step when running under the IDE.

If App.IsInIDE Then
    Debug.Print "Skipping hardware initialisation in IDE."
Else
    InitialiseHardware
End If
