Summary0013788: Hide Automoc Targets in Visual Studio projects
DescriptionThis is a feature request to hide the <target>_automoc projects in a folder in Visual Studio:
http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/cmake-developers/2012-June/004402.html [^]

It is also related to issue 0013688.

------------

The included patch adds in a new global property:

$ cmake --help-property AUTOMOC_FOLDER
cmake version 2.8.10.20121212

  AUTOMOC_FOLDER
       Name of FOLDER for *_automoc targets that are added automatically by
       CMake.

       If not set, CMake uses the FOLDER property of the parent target as a
       default value for this property. See also the documentation for the
       FOLDER target property and the AUTOMOC target property.

Steps To ReproduceSET_PROPERTY(GLOBAL PROPERTY USE_FOLDERS ON)
SET_PROPERTY(GLOBAL PROPERTY AUTOMOC_FOLDER automoc)

The rationale is to allow the user to organize how the automoc projects are displayed in the Solution View. For our case, all projects are at the root level, and are sprinkled with the automoc projects that we would like to hide away in another folder.

I would prefer a mixture of the solution proposed by Shaun Williams in this thread and the solution in 0013688. To inherit the folder properties from the source target is a good default behavior, but this does not allow the user to separate auto generated targets from real source targets. Is there any chance to get this in 2.8.11 or 2.8.11.1?

Can you please give 2.8.11 RC2 a try ?
Brad modified something the support for VS >= 7 so that pre-build events are used.
This should do what you need if I understand correctly.

Please let me know whether it works for you or not.

I tried the 2.8.11 RC2, and it didn't work. Pre-build events have no relation to creating an AUTOMOC folder in VS at configure time.

I uploaded a patch for this 4 months ago. It is attached to this issue.

Thanks for the patch.
I committed it, slightly modified, and merged it into next.
It should be in 2.8.12.
