Include custom IDLs globally in VC7

[Sean Jorden]

I am trying to include a custom IDL available to the project. In VC6 I
would simply import "custom.idl" at the top of my [project].idl file. Now,
it seems this file is automatically generated - I cannot see where I am
supposed to insert this statement.

You can use attributes or "old fashioned" way. If you're asking, you must be
using attributes then. You can use:
[importidl("test.idl")]; //insert test.idl file contents into generated .idl
or
[importidl("test.idl")]; //same as import "test.idl"; in generated .idl
or
[includelib("test.idl")]; //same as #include "test.idl"
