Right-click on the BRX file, and choose Properties.

Create a Custom Build Step:
Command Line: "C:\Program Files\BREW 3.0.0\sdk\bin\brewrc" $(InputPath)
Description of: Compiling BREW Resource File $(InputFileName)
Outputs: $(InputName).brh;$(InputName).bar

Be sure to save this custom build step for all build types (Release/Debug). Now, each time your source is rebuilt, you will see the following in your build output:

For additional resource file options, you can view the available commands for the BREW™ Resource Editor on the command line.
