Editor MSDev

This page contains tips & tricks to setup MS Developer Studio up for OOo development.

Open Header File

In the MSDEV you open a header file when the cursor stands on a #include with the Edit.GoTo command which is normally bound to the short cut CTRL+G. To open files from OOo you have to add the folders where MSDEV should look into. This is done in Tools->Options->Projects VC++ Directories. There in the upper right corner select "Include files". Here you can add all folders which are important. E.g.

$(SOLAR_STLP)
$(SOLARVER)\$(COMMON_OUTDIR)$(PROEXT)\idl$(UPDMINOREXT)
$(SOLARVER)\$(OUTPATH)$(PROEXT)\inc$(UPDMINOREXT)\offuh
$(SOLARVER)\$(OUTPATH)$(PROEXT)\inc$(UPDMINOREXT)
