[CMake] Visual Studio Generator: Unable to show property page for custom build tool

[Michael Guerrero]

Hi, I’ve been experimenting with using Visual Studio’s “Custom Build Tool” per cpp file to perform some specialized operations.  However, the property page is not visible (not editable) when I generate a project with cmake.  To see what this looks like, see here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/msbuild/thread/496e301c-de2e-49bf-bbfa-ea8de335a0a5 .

To reproduce:
1)Generate a c++ project for visual studio (I’m using vs2010)
2)Right click a .cpp file in the solution and go to properties
3)Under Configuration Properties/General, change “Item Type” to “Custom Build Tool”
4)Click Apply
5)Select Configuration Properties / Custom Build Tool / General

I’ve attempted to hand edit the solution and project files to determine what is causing this but nothing I removed seemed to have any affect.

Any ideas on how to fix this or where to look?
