Summary0015043: How to convert Visual Studio .props file into cmake
DescriptionHello,

 We are using CMake 3.0 on Windows. Our main objective is to convert Microsoft Visual Studio built solution to CMake 3.0 solution.
 In the process of doing so, we have come across many Visual Studio property files (.props) which get included in the Visual Studio project files (.vcxproj) files.

 For example in a Visual Studio project file , the Property file (test.props) gets included as follows:

   <ImportGroup Label="PropertySheets">
     <Import Project="$(TestCfg)\test.props" />
   </ImportGroup>

 To achieve the same thing, in the CMakeLists file we are using the following command:

 set_target_properties(testproj PROPERTIES VS_PROPERTY_SHEETS "${TestCfg}/test.props")

 Note that we have set TestCfg appropriately in one of the .cmake files that we include in our CMakeLists.txt

 The cmake build is successful and the cmake VCX project also gets created. But that vcx project does not contain the entry of the test.props file.

 Please let us know what we are missing or doing wrong.
 Also, is there any other way to include .props files in cmake.

 Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

 AFAIK we have no feature to add custom ImportGroup elements or property sheets entries. I'm not familiar with a "VS_PROPERTY_SHEETS" target property. Where did you see that?
