/MIDL (Specify MIDL Command Line Options)
Specifies a response file for MIDL command line options
/MIDL:@file
file
The name of the file that contains MIDL command line options.
All options for the conversion of an IDL file to a TLB file must be given in file; MIDL command-line options cannot be specified on the linker's command line. If /MIDL is not specified, the MIDL compiler will be invoked with only the IDL file name and no other options.
The file should contain one MIDL command-line option per line.
Open the project's Property Pages dialog box. For details, see Set C++ compiler and build properties in Visual Studio.
Select the Configuration Properties > Linker > Embedded IDL property page.
Modify the MIDL Commands property.
