C/C++ Managed Make." Well I cannot for the life of me find this ability
within a Managed Make C/C++ project. And what I really cannot understand
is why you would even need this capability in a STANDARD make project
where I have to manage the makefile by myself anyway! Where I need an
exclusion filter is in a project managing the makefile for me! Help
please.

I for one don't know if it works in Managed projects just because I
don't use managed projects and therefore have never tried.
However, the way to try is to go to
Project->Properties->C/C++ Project Paths
and under the Source tab there should be one or more folders identified
as "Source folders on Build Path". Under each folder is an "Exclusion
Filter".
If there are no source folders identified, create one. If you cannot,
or when you do, there is no "Exclusion filter", you may be SOL.
If it exists, simply select the filter, and click edit. From there you
can add individual or multiple files including file patterns. Once
created, you can also edit the filter by hand in the .cdtprojects file,
but BE CAREFUL!!!
The reason one would exclude files from a standard make project is so
that the indexer will only index files not excluded. As a side effect,
it moves all excluded files to the bottom of the folder in the navigator.

Thanks for the reply - the reason I cannot find a way to add exclusion
filters in a managed project is that there is no "Project Paths" section
in a managed project properties dialog, so you're right - I'm probably
SOL. Its pretty baffling to me though - I would be interested to know why
the feature is not available in managed projects. It would be just as
useful.

I agree, imo it would be VERY useful to have a directory exclude
directive for managed builds. Perhaps every build configuration could
have it's own exclude paths. Presently you can only do that for
individual files. (Right click on a file, properties, c++ build, exclude)

There is an ehancement request in Bugzilla to add exclusion of folders.
As it stands now this is not slated for any particular release.
The reason this currently is not a feature is because no one has had time
to work on it. We will happily accept patches if someone wishes to help
us out.
Cheers,
