I guess you mean finding the moc_blah.cxx file in the "CMake Rules"
filter in VC++. Yes, that works.

What does not work is what I am doing: I'm listing the .h files as
source files so that they show in the VC++ project. Now, given that
header files are marked as "excluded from build", VC++ disables
right-click-and-compile for those header files.

By the way, is there any way to set an internal global variable in a
VC++ project? Currently, CMake-generated Qt projects may show a wrong
version in the property browser if the default (in the registry) Qt
version is not the same as the Qt version you told in CMake (i. e. the
qmake). What's required is adding something like this in the .vcproj :

<Globals>
...
<Global
Name="QtVersion"
Value="4.4.3"
/>

(where the Qt version would be what FindQt4.cmake has found)

Would something like SET_TARGET_PROPERTIES ( thetarget PROPERTIES
VS_GLOBAL "property" "value" ) be accepted if I provide a patch?
