Author How to configure project settings via automation in VC++ v6.0?

Hello,

I want to configure project settings programmatically for
MSVC++ v6.0 project. Particularly, I'm interested to set:

Project -> Settings -> Debug tab, "General" Category
- Executable for debug session
- Program arguments

Project -> Settings -> Debug tab, "Additional DLLs" Category
- <path to several DLLs>

I'm reading "Automating Tasks in Visual C++" section in MSDN
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/e....automation.asp).
However, there is no possibility to manage debug settings
for a project via supplied automation objects.

How can I achieve this? C++ solution will be OK, too.

Thanks in advance
Alex

Unfortunately VC6 provides no way to do this....its automation model is poor
at best.

Your best best is to parse and modify the .dsp files directly.

Yes, I found that already.

Actually, what I'm interested in is placed in .OPT file. OPT
file is binary, so I cannot parse it easily. Currently I'm
forsed to use WshShell.SendKey to manage MSDEV IDE.
