Application to Switch Version Control Systems

Posted by Alberto Massari on July 29th, 1999
I have to use 2 different Source Code Controls: Microsoft Visual Source Safe and Rational ClearCase. Both of them provide a nice integration with the Microsoft Visual Studio IDE, so that I can checkout/checkin files while editing them.

Unfortunately, Visual Studio does not prompt you for the SCC to use (at least, I could find it). So I wrote a little utility that plays with the registry and lets you set a specific SCC as the default one.

    Thanks - this utility is exactly what I've been looking for. I'm surprised that there is no option to choose.

    Thank you for sharing!

  • Added option to disable integrated source-code control

    So I modified this convenient program to disable scc when

    I select "- none -" from the combo box.


    Here are the diffs:


    

    			RegCloseKey(hKey2);

    		}

    //--start here, line 82 of SwitchSCCDlg.cpp

    		int cbIndex = m_Combo.AddString("- none -");

    		m_Combo.SetItemDataPtr(cbIndex, strdup(""));

    		m_Combo.SetCurSel(cbIndex);

    //-- end here

    		char data[1024];

    		DWORD cbSize=1024;

    		DWORD type;
