Visual Studio Integration
Access [Tools] - [Customize], scroll to the bottom of the list and enter the Tool Name, Program Executable and Arguments, sending output to the output windows in Visual Studio.
Hint: The [...] button browses the file system and the [>] button accesses Visual Studio macros.
Example Output
The cursor must be in an Visual C++ active code window before selecting a custom tool!
Example Tool Setups
When using Visual Studio 6 macros for files and directories, alway be sure they are enclosed in quotation marks compliant with the RSM syntax show. This will insure that files and directories with spaces will be processed correctly.
You must place a SPACE " " between the end of a
directory macro and a quotation. VS 7 adds a backslash to the end of the
directory names.
Example: -r "h,cpp $(SolutionDir) "
Hint: You can cut and paste directly from these table into the tool setup.
