Property Manager

The Property Manager window enables you to modify project settings that are defined in property sheets. This window is available from the View menu.

  • Properties
    Opens the project settings for the selected node in the hierarchy tree.

  • Add New Project Property Sheet
    Opens the Add New Item dialog box. Use this dialog box to add a new property sheet to your project configuration.

  • Add Existing Project Property Sheet
    Opens a dialog box that is similar to the Open File dialog box. Use this dialog box to add an existing property sheet to your project configuration.

  • Move Up
    Moves the selected property sheet up the inheritance hierarchy, which increases the precedence of its properties for property evaluation. This option is only available for property sheets that are child nodes of property sheets, and have peers that reside above them in the inheritance hierarchy.

  • Move Down
    Moves the selected property sheet down the inheritance hierarchy, which decreases the precedence of its properties for property evaluation. This option is only available for property sheets that are child nodes of property sheets, and have peers that reside below them in the inheritance hierarchy.

  • Save
    If a property sheet is selected, then this command saves project properties for the selected sheet. If a configuration is selected, such as the Debug configuration for the Win32 platform, then this command saves all properties for the selected configuration.
