Turn off dead code option

Hi
I'm writing code in a separate module. Since this code is called from another module the code in the IDE is shown as a dead code formatted text.
Is there a way to turn this option off so the code format is the correct colored layout like in a master module??

The only way i have found it to call the main loop from its self and remarked out for compiling.. just a niggle that is all

I think this is what you are asking for:

In the Bascom IDE, Options Tab:

Select Environment

Then Un-select "Syntax highlight"

Then click OK

this forum has a search function.

anyway, just look under the EDIT menu.
It is 'SHOW DEAD CODE' and 'SHOW EXCLUDED CODE'
just un check these option to turn off the checking.

So why is it there under the menu?
Well you can put the button in a toolbar that way.
The whole idea about this function is to enable it when your code is done. So you can review it.
So this requires a simple enable/disable. Not an option.
