Really? you can change properties on the property sheet? which property changes which LIB switch?
Just pointing out there is NO information here about how to set LIB options from Visual studio.
Yes, you do it on the property sheet.
What effect does which property have on which LIB command line argument?

It would be MUCH simpler WITHOUT the property sheet, and just to type in the command line yourself.
At least the command line is documented at to what it does.

How do I specify which symbols to be exported?
Which property sets the "/EXPORT" arguments?
Do more than one properties affect the same command line switches?
There are different number of properties and switches.

Help via "f1" doesn't explain what any of the properties mean or what they do.

And Visual studio has been around for over a decade. Still not documented.
