/IDLOUT (Windows CE 5.0)
The /IDLOUT option specifies the name and extension of the .idl file.
/IDLOUT:[path\]filename
Parameters
- path
An absolute or relative path specification. By specifying a path, you affect only the location of an .idl file; all other files are placed in the project directory. - filename
Specifies the name of the .idl file created by the MIDL compiler. No file extension is assumed; specify filename.idl if you want an .idl extension.
Remarks
The MIDL compiler is called by the Visual C++ linker when linking projects that have the module attribute.
/IDLOUT also specifies the file names of the other output files associated with the MIDL compiler:
- filename.tlb
- filename_p.c
- filename_i.c
- filename.h
where filename is the parameter passed to /IDLOUT.
If /TLBOUT is specified, the .tlb file will get its name from /TLBOUTfilename.
