// Process to perform
...
END

Syntax

True if the code is run from a WINDEV Mobile application,
False if the code is run from a WINDEV application, from a PHP application or from a WEBDEV site.
This value always corresponds to False.

Remarks

Sharing code between a WINDEV Mobile application and a WINDEV application or a WEBDEV site

InPocketMode allows you to share code between a WINDEV Mobile application and a WINDEV application or a WEBDEV site.

During the compilation, the functions that cannot be used in WINDEV Mobile will be signaled in the "Code" pane. However, no runtime error will be triggered by these functions.

For example, the following code is shared between a WINDEV Mobile application and a WINDEV application.

MyParameterFile is string
// Code run from the WINDEV Mobile application?
IF InPocketMode() = True THEN
// WINDEV Mobile application
MyParameterFile = "\MyFiles\Param.INI"
ELSE
// WINDEV application
MyParameterFile = fCurrentDir() + "\Param.INI"
END

During the compilation, an error will be displayed in the "Code" pane to indicate that fCurrentDir is not allowed in Pocket PC. However, no runtime error will occur when the application is used on a Pocket PC: indeed, fCurrentDir will never be called.

Running processes containing compilation errors

By default, the security mechanism of WLanguage is triggered only if the line containing the compilation error is run.

For example, if a function not allowed in the current product is found in a loop (IF), the security mechanism of WLanguage will be triggered only if the line containing this function is run.

Availability of the function

InPocketMode is available for all the products to allow for a multi-product code. Functions or procedures that use InPocketMode can be shared between several products without generating any compilation error.

Operating mode in GO mode and at runtime

In GO mode (simulation on the development computer), InPocketMode always returns True.

InPocketMode returns False only when it is called from a standard WINDEV application.
