.tlb文件未在vcxproj .rc文件中生成

Question

On building my project is giving error of not generating (.tlb) file in (vcxproj .rc) file:

error RC2135: file not found: DocOutPPML.tlb [C:\\ElxVC\\SRC\\OutputConverters\\DocOutPPML\\DocOutPPMLCHS.vcxproj]

Using visual studio 2010 I converted this proj from vcproj to vcxproj.

Answer 1

You need the resource compiler to have the correct path where to your type library. The place where you can set this is under resource configuration property → general → additional include directories . Just specify there where your type library is.

Answer 2

You have to generate .tlb file.

/TLBOUT:[path]filename

Where

path: An absolute or relative path specification for where the .tlb file should be created.

filename: Specifies the name of the .tlb file created by the MIDL compiler. No file extension is assumed; specify filename.tlb if you want a .tlb extension.

Remark

1. The /TLBOUT option specifies the name and extension of the .tlb file.
2. The MIDL compiler is called by the Visual C++ linker when linking projects that have the module attribute.
3. If /TLBOUT is not specified, the .tlb file will get its name from /IDLOUT filename. If /IDLOUT is not specified, the .tlb file will be called vc70.tlb.

To set this linker option in the Visual Studio development environment

• Open the project's Property Pages dialog box. For details, see Setting Visual C++ Project Properties.

• Click the Linker folder.

• Click the Embedded IDL property page.

• Modify the Type Library property.

Answer 3

You can specify the right name for the "(.tlb) file" in the command line:

midl <your>.idl /tlb <any>.tlb

1. Open the project's Property Pages dialog box. For details, see Set C++ compiler and build properties in Visual Studio.
2. Click the Build Events folder.
3. Click the Pre-Build Event property page.
4. Modify the Command Line property.

echo === Log ===
cd "$(ProjectDir)"
midl.exe DocOutPPML.idl /tlb DocOutPPML.tlb
cd "$(TargetDir)"
echo ===
