<![CDATA[moc'ing a file in vs2017 from custom directory]]>so i created a new qt gui project in vs2017.
it creates a default MainWindow.h/cpp files, main.cpp.

i put the main window files in a new directory (./src/gui) and now the moc_MainWindow.cpp tries to include ../../MainWindow.h (since the force include in project settings is set to ../../%(Filename)%(Extension)). however, the files isn't there anymore.

if i specify the path as ../../src/gui/%(Filename)%(Extension) manually, it works. but i don't wanna do this because i have other directories; i don't wanna always "scan" the directories for new qt files.

any suggestions?

How are you managing the project ? Directly in VS2017 ? Using a .pro file ?
