Excluding files

If you want to exclude particular files or folder from being reverse engineered, you can use the ReverseEngineering::Main::ExcludeFilesMatching property. You can assign one or more comma‑separated wildcard expressions to this property, as shown in the following figure. The files or folders that are matched using these wildcard expressions are not reverse engineered.

About this task

Note: This property affects only the navigation tree of the Reverse Engineering window.

With the ExcludeFilesMatching property set to res*, when you open the Reverse Engineering tool (Tools > Reverse Engineering), the Reverse Engineering window (navigation tree view) looks like the following figure, which shows only one file in the Select Files box to be reverse engineered. Compare this view with the figure in Default starting point for reverse engineering that shows the same window but without the ExcludeFilesMatching property set.
