[CMake] Visual Studio: Add file to project without compiling it

[Matthias Riechmann]

Hello,

I'd like to make CMake including a file in way so that it is visible in 
a generated visual studio project and can be edited in this way, but is 
not processed by the compiler.

The reason I need this is as followed: I have some CORBA IDL files that 
I'd like to process using a custom macro calling add_custom_command to 
run the idl compiler. So far it works quite well, the file is processed 
on build, but since I don't specify the IDL file as a source file in the 
add_executable command it doesn't appear in visual studio. When adding 
it to the source files Microsoft's MIDL compiler tries to work on this 
file as well, which is not what I intended to do.

So, is it in any way possible to just show a custom file in Visual Studio?


Matthias
