Entering a user-defined command
User-defined commands such as those applied in the Post-Build tab, can allow you to
specify tasks to accomplish in addition to the typical build process. Such a task could be to
copy a version of the final application to another directory.
Figure 305. Enter a post build copy command
To do this:
1. Create a new folder on your hard drive. For the purposes of this example, I created a
file with the pathname C:\final.
2. In the Project Settings window (Project>Settings...), click on the Post-Build tab
3. Click to place the cursor in the Commands field.
4. Type cmd.exe /C copy followed by a space.
5. Click on the Directory button and select Output Folder. This macro ($OutputPath)
tells STVD to look in the project’s output folder (Release) for the file to copy.
6. Click on the File button and select Target File Name. This macro $(TargetFName)
tells STVD to look for the target application file that is specified during linking.
