The following illustration shows all the macros that contain the string "WindowsSDK" and it also shows the current path that the macro evaluates to: You can search for partial or complete matches in the edit box. A macro in a debug build might evaluate to a different path than the same macro in a release build. Note that many macros depend on the configuration type. To examine the current value of a macro, choose the Macros button in the lower right corner of the dialog box. For more information, see Share or reuse Visual Studio C++ project settings.Īs shown above, many of the inherited paths are given as macros. However, if you want to change or add a directory, it is better to use Property Manager to create a property sheet or modify the default user property sheet. Use this dialog to view the current directories. Choose the down-arrow button at the end of the property value field.Select one of the properties in the VC++ Directories page.To view the values for any of the directories:
#MAGIC AB PLUGIN WHERE IS PRESET FOLDERS IN WIN 10 WINDOWS#
You can change the Platform Toolset and Windows SDK version on the Configuration Properties > General page. For desktop projects they include the C++ tools locations for a particular Platform Toolset and the Windows SDK location. The default settings for VC++ Directories properties depend on project type. If you are not familiar with project properties in Visual Studio, you might find it helpful to first read Set C++ compiler and build properties in Visual Studio. For information specific to Linux C++ projects, see VC++ Directories (Linux C++). Note that the VC++ Directories property page for cross-platform projects looks different.
If you do not see VC++ Directories under Configuration Properties, select a C++ project node in the Solution Explorer window: VC++ Directories properties apply to a project, not the top-level solution node. Select the Configuration Properties > VC++ Directories property page. Right-click on a project node (not the top-level solution) and choose Properties to open the Property Pages dialog box. If the Solution Explorer window is not visible, then on the main menu choose View > Solution Explorer. To access the VC++ Directories property page: To set directories for multiple projects in a solution, use a custom property sheet as described in Share or reuse Visual Studio C++ project settings.įor the Linux version of this page, see VC++ Directories (Linux C++). Use this property page to tell Visual Studio which directories to use when building the currently-selected project.
