Hi,

Is there a way to use VS to create different projects that just
Win32 applications? Basically, I am looking for a way to customize which
build tools are going to be called and which parameters are passed. This
way, I would be able to use the IDE not only for my regular Win32
application development, but also for completely different kinds of
development (mobile devices, PHP etc). Is something of that sort
possible (even if I have to write helper applications)?

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

found a workaround that does work pretty well. Create a new and
empty Win32 Project (console or not, guess it does not matter .. I chose
non-console). Then goto the project properties and specify Makefile
under 'Configuration Type' in the 'General' section. A makefile does not
seem to be created. But you can specify the build tools and the
debugging executable. Along with helper applications, you can do your
mobile device development in VS and have the emulator start when
pressing F5 (or whatever you chose), just like you would normally :)

hth anybody out there with the same 'problem'
