[news.eclipse.tools.cdt] Adding a Preprocessor Definition

[Mike Jackson <imikejackson@xxxxxxxxx>]

I thought I was able to add a "symbol" or definition to the project 
properties so that if I have something like:

#ifdef FOO_DEFINED
	#include <somefile.h>
#endif

all the code above would be active and indexed. But after adding the 
define in several locations the code is still marked as inactive.

Long Version:
  I am trying to use CDT with nmake files to compile my code with the 
MS cl.exe compiler. I have CMake generating the necessary nmake files 
and I actually have the compile working. At issue is the fact that the 
"Built In" values are all GCC related. Like everyone else I have 
preprocessor code like the following:

#ifdef _MSC_VER

#else

#endif

The problem is obviously that _MSC_VER is only defined when compiling. 
I was thinking that if I added a definition for _MSC_VER to the 
properties of the project then the code that is being marked as 
inactive would now be marked as "active" and get indexed. Is this 
possible?

CDT 6.0/ Windows XP/ Visual Studio Express 8.0/sp1
