Is there a way I can have IAR Embedded Workbench grey out inactive blocks of code within preprocessor conditions?
E.g.
#ifdef TEST
some code
#endif
So if macro TEST is not defined the "some code" part is somehow greyed out?

I have been asking myself the same thing. Maybe there is a plugin or extension, because there's nothing int he menus. – Bogdan Alexandru Aug 20 '14 at 11:39

It is not possible as far as I know, the IDE is quite limited, but you may want to have a look and try with Atmel Studio 6.2. – Snake Sanders Apr 13 '15 at 07:05

This feature has been implemented at some point in the later versions of the IAR IDE for Arm.
The checkbox to enable/disable it can be found under Tools-IDE Options-Editor-[x] Show Inactive code.
I am using it since 9.10 as well as the official IAR extension for VScode.

... yes it does exist - as of 9.20.4 it uses the same color as "C++ comments" (green in my case)... I would prefer "grey background" or having ability to select a unique color (i would pick grey). – Frederick Aug 24 '23 at 19:37
