Description

please remind - is there (in extension settings) an ability to select from installed WinSDKs which one should be used for the build?
is it possible to add this setting button to status bar in a line of the toolchain, build and debug type?

P.S. also, I've [raised the request](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/534) in cpp-tools repository regarding include paths for IntelliSense and navigation, based on the info of the current build. would be nice if the functionality from your extension, about -which toolchain and SDK are currently selected, can be exposed for the navigation, but this is just a question , you see - I 'm third party here :) , not a developer ...

Research direction

Start by reviewing the extension's existing Windows toolchain and SDK selection behavior, then trace how toolchain, build type, and debug type are exposed in extension settings and the status bar. Done should include selecting among installed Windows SDKs and exposing the selected toolchain and SDK for the requested navigation integration.
