hi together:-)

i have the following Problem:

I have a project, which has say 10 files included.

This files have the configurationtype: custom build tool.

in there properties, i can set a command line (there i invoke an external tool to do something with These files, eg. foo.exe)

the problem is, that each file has the exact same command line as property.
is there a way to say visual Studio: all files of configuration type "custom build tool" have the same command line (here: foo.exe)

thx alot for any help!

Not clear. Please explain everything properly. Start with your language and project type.

Solution 1

i solved it

i did a .props file, with a macro in it:

see the propertygrouptag.

then i can include this .props - file everywhere and write in the command line:

$(nameofmakro)%(fullpath)

-> easy to Change later
