The Build events tab contains a list of scheduled events for each configuration, launched by the pre-build and post-build scripts. These events can be added, deleted, or modified by clicking either the Edit pre-build... or Edit post-build... buttons. Upon clicking these buttons, you should manually add your commands in the following dialog. As of the current release, it is possible to use environment variables and values declared within them as a link with other available applications. In order to use that function press the Show Macros button.
