!if !endif problem
I try to use !if and !endif in the macro, but it always fails to check the if condition as below. I'm noticed the text color of "!if" didn't change to green color as the !macro. It shows in black color. Does anybody know why it is wrong? I use NSIS version 2.36

!define BUILD_TYPE "1"

!macro SET_BUILD_TYPE
!if ${BUILD_TYPE} == "1"
!define APP_NAME "BETA"
!else
!define APP_NAME "FULL"
!endif
!macroend

Thanks, Oai

dont use a macro because no matter how many times you check it it will still come the same. and also if you call it more than once you will get an error as ${APP_NAME} will have already been defined

try this

!define BUILD_TYPE "1"

!if ${BUILD_TYPE} == "1"
!define APP_NAME "BETA"
!else
!define APP_NAME "FULL"
!endif

Thank Fabian! your code works well without using a macro. I'm wonder why the text color of "!if" is "black" not "green" as "!endif" in my application(HM NIS Edit toolkit).
