Highlighting Mod Params

Here's a little twist to something I had been doing in order to get parameters passed to modules to correctly high light and auotcomplete.

Module header:

MODULE_NAME='VAV_LGTV_Mod,Rev1'(DEV vTVcomm,DEV dvTV,INTEGER nInstance,INTEGER nSerial,CHAR cIP[],INTEGER nTVs_DeBug)

Now to get the devices to high light and autocomplete I use compiler directives but the twist is doing it all locally where needed whereas I used to do it the #DEFINE "SOMETHING" in the main code where these device were actually defined but that's too much of a pain to track and could cause problems it the #DEFINE "SOMETHING" was ever removed since I would never remember all the locations I might have the #IF_NOT_DEFINED. So now I just do this only inside the module:

DEFINE_DEVICE   //#DEFINE DEFINE_MODULE_PARAMETERS

//THIS JUST ALLOWS HIGHLIGHTING & AUTOCOMPLETE ITEMS PASSED IN THE HEADER
#DEFINE DEFINE_MODULE_PARAMETERS
#IF_NOT_DEFINED DEFINE_MODULE_PARAMETERS
vTVcomm 		
dvTV 	        	
#END_IF

for devices and

DEFINE_VARIABLE //MODULE HEADER PARAMETERS 

//THIS JUST ALLOWS HIGHLIGHTING & AUTOCOMPLETE ITEMS PASSED IN THE HEADER
#DEFINE DEFINE_MODULE_PARAMETERS
#IF_NOT_DEFINED DEFINE_MODULE_PARAMETERS
nInstance
nSerial 
cIP 
nTVs_DeBug          	
#END_IF     

for vars.

Less chance of the #DEFINE getting deleted elsewhere in the code causing these to become valid definitions. Plus I used to actually do the complete definition dev = 5001:0:0 but there's really no point since I only want the auto complete and highlighting. I can use the same #DEFINE without the compiler yelling at me that DEFINE_MODULE_PARAMETERS is already defined.

Now everything will auto complete and highlight in the correct colors set in preferences and the chance I me screwing things up down the road are minimized.

edit:
Actually now that I think about it I never did anything for modules and used the #DEFINE "SOMETHING" in the main and the matching #IF_NOT... for highlighting and auto-complete in my includes which used to get screwed up if I inadvertantly removed the #DEFINE.
