Extern Element

The Extern element references any external header (.h) files to merge with the .vsct file at compile time. The files to be merged must be on the Include path given to the VSCT compiler or referenced by an Include Element. The files may be other .vsct files or C++ header files.

Definitions in header files must be of the form "#define [Symbol] [Value]" The value may be another symbol if it is previously defined. Definitions may be used in conditional statements of command items. Any symbol not actually used will be discarded.
