Hello, I am looking for info on how to hide (make not visible) targets in Visual Studio. I am working with generated code and am compiling several hundred individual SWIG dll's (I have a CMake macro that makes one SWIG target for each object in the generated code, all the generated code cannot be contained in a single SWIG target). I would like to make one higher level target that depends on the hundreds of generated targets. From the IDE I would like to just see this one higher level target with the hundreds of generated targets "hidden". I can't find any target properties that I would expect to do this (like "VISIBLE"), does any capability exist in CMake to create these targets but hide them (or group beneath a higher level target) in the IDE (specifically Visual Studio)?<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot,<br>
Dan<br>

<br>When I tried this, it looks as though you can specify the Solution Folder in the .sln file, but you don't specify which projects make it into the Solution Folder in the .sln file. My guess is that they are in the binary suo file which CMake doesn't modify.<br>
<br>Unfortunately, when cmake configures and generates .sln files it will overwrite the existence of the Solution Folder.<br><br>James<br>
