In this quick tutorial we will learn how to create a cross-platorm code in REALbasic that will work only with specific platform. Watch it, learn it, enjoy it!

REALbasic and cross-platform code

As you can see it’s very easy to create a multi-platform code that will interact with specific platform. Like I said it was a quick lesson

#if TargetWin32 MsgBox ("You are running MS Windows") //Windows specific code here #elseif TargetMacOS MsgBox ("You are running Mac OS") //Macintosh specific code goes here. #elseif TargetLinux MsgBox ("You are running Linux") //Linux specific code goes right here. #endIf

   There is some source code at http://www.thezaz.com/opensource/realbasic/mda/ for the Multiple Document Application that has some nice code for preferences that works on all platforms. It’s not using platform specific preferences but it works well.
