Change IDL Header File

I am working on an old C ++ COM project, which I am moving to Visual Studio 2010. In the IDL file for this project, I need to reference the ODL file from another C ++ project. My problem is that another project is generating a header file like $ (filename) _h.h. When my IDL file generates its header file, it generates the ODL file name as $ filename.h and cannot link to the correct file.

In other words, in my IDL file ("MyIDLFile.idl") I have a statement like

import "MyODLFile.odl"

which in the generated file ("MyIDLFile.h") becomes

include "MyODLFile.h"

when i need it to generate

include "MyODLFile_h.h"

How to specify the name of the file I want to create an IDL in the import statement?

I'm not sure what you mean in the import statement, but what you are looking for can be found in the Properties project. Go to the properties window (Alt-F7) and in the section "Configuration Properties / MIDL / Output" you will have the opportunity to declare the header file that you want to create. Since your project is outdated, it might be easier to just remove the “_h” from the header file name (for example, $ (project_name) .h instead of $ (ProjectName) _h.h). See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321274 for more information.
