> Hello,
> I have a doxygen custom target defined which works fine when executed manually in visual studio but since it is a custom command it is not added as dependency to ALL_BUILD

you can add it to ALL if you specify ALL in add_custom_target:

"add_custom_target(Name [ALL] [command1 [args1...]]
                           [COMMAND command2 [args2...] ...]
                           [DEPENDS depend depend depend ... ]
                           [WORKING_DIRECTORY dir]
                           [COMMENT comment] [VERBATIM]
                           [SOURCES src1 [src2...]])

If the ALL option is
       specified it indicates that this target should be added to the default
       build target so that it will be run every time."

Unfortunately you cannot add dependencies to "builtin" target

Add another custom command which execute both your doxygen target AND
the builtin package one.
