Setting a VCProject property to default
- by Ofek Shilon
I'm trying some VS2005 IDE macros to modify a large amount of projects (~80) within a solution. Some of the properties I wish to set do expose a programmatic interface to 'default', but many others do not. Is there a generic way to set such properties to their default? (eventually meaning erasing them from the .vcproj file)
Simplified example, setting some random properties:
Sub SetSomeProps()
Dim prj As VCProject
Dim cfg As VCConfiguration
Dim toolCompiler As VCCLCompilerTool
Dim toolLinker As VCLinkerTool
Dim EnvPrj As EnvDTE.Project
For Each EnvPrj In DTE.Solution.Projects
prj = EnvPrj.Object
cfg = prj.Configurations.Item(1)
toolLinker = cfg.Tools("VCLinkerTool")
If toolLinker IsNot Nothing Then
' Some tool props that expose a *default* interface'
toolLinker.EnableCOMDATFolding = optFoldingType.optFoldingDefault
toolLinker.OptimizeReferences = optRefType.optReferencesDefault
toolLinker.OptimizeForWindows98 = optWin98Type.optWin98Default
End If
toolCompiler = cfg.Tools("VCCLCompilerTool")
If toolCompiler IsNot Nothing Then
' How to set it to default? (*erase* the property from the .vcproj)'
toolCompiler.CallingConvention = callingConventionOption.callConventionCDecl
toolCompiler.WholeProgramOptimization = False
toolCompiler.Detect64BitPortabilityProblems = False
End If
Next
End Sub
Any advice would be appreciated.
