Customizing Incredibuild Options in Visual Studio

You can enable the Incredibuild menu, toolbar and shortcuts in Visual Studio.

  1. To enable the Incredibuild menu, in Visual Studio, go to Tools > Customize > Extensions Menu, select Incredibuild and then click Save and Restart.

  2. To enable the Incredibuild toolbar, go to Tools > Customize > Toolbars, select Incredibuild and then click Close.

  3. To customize the Incredibuild toolbar, go to Tools > Customize > Commands, and then from the Toolbar dropdown, select Incredibuild.

    • In Show commands containing, enter buildAddInVC7 (for Visual Studio 7) or Incredibuild (for Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2017, or 2019).

    • Select the required command, and in Press shortcut keys, enter the keyboard shortcut.
