//##ModelId use in MFC

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have inherited some older MFC code. That I am updating and maintaining. It has a form of comment in from of most methods and global declararions of //##ModelId=xxxxxxxxxxxx. I am wondering what the use of ModelId is/was?

I suspect that they are left over from some IDE or wizard that used this to keep track of what the IDE/wizard had done.

Are these ModelId's useful anymore or can they be deleted?

Solution 1

It is commented out which means it won't be compiled which means it is useless unless it is there to describe the functionality of some code that is not commented out.
The easy way to find out is to remove these instances and see if the code still compiles and runs properly.

You can just remove them and then see if things behave properly. That is the easy way to find out.
