I am using VS 2008 Express. One of the projects I’m working on uses a physics engine. For their own reasons, the maintainers of the engine suggest compiling the source with your project for better stability and compatibility, instead of linking to the static libraries.
This means that in the Class View, all the engine’s classes and methods show up together with my own code. It makes it tougher to pick out my own classes from theirs. Can you group the classes with your own custom filters, much in the way you can organize the source files?
Just right click your project and hit “Add” and then select “New Filter.” It will look like a folder icon, but it will not change the underlying directory structure.
As an aside: Which physics engine are you working with that suggests this? I can’t think of a reason for their suggestion to compile it along with your own project, since static linking should accomplish the same goals.
