Hello,

I'm trying to build a custom C++ wizard to build my projects, but I've come
unstuck trying to add a user property page.

In visual studio, I can create a file which is a Visual Studio Property
Sheet, named for instance version.vsprops

I can then go to the property manager window, and add an existing property
sheet.

Naively, I hoped I could find out what was going on by recording a macro,
but that didn't work.

So, my question is:

How can I programmatically add a vsprops file to a project. There seems to
be a VCPropertySheet interfacec, but I can't for the life of me figure out
what object will give me one.

I hope someone here can help.

I've got a bit further, but still can't figure out how to add an object.

Let's say I want to add a my version.vsprops to every configuration.

Here's what I have:

sub addVersion(prj as VCProject)
{
dim config as VCConfiguration
dim sheets as Object
dim prjProp as VCPropertySheet

for each config in prj.Configurations
sheets = config.PropertySheets;

// how do I add a new prjProp to the collection of property sheets?

prjProp.Name = "version"
prjProp.PropertySheetFile = "fullpath\version.vsprops"
next
}

I tried Add on the sheets method but that method doesn't seem to exist.

Any Suggestions?

OK, it seems odd, but the way to do this is to set the
InheritedPropertySheets property of the config to a semicolon delimited list
of property sheets (vsprop files) you want added.
