如何在 Visual Studio 中打开 C++ 项目文件夹？

Question

I have a c++ project with lots of folders and compiles to lots of different executables, I want to open the entire thing in visual studio and have it keep the folder structure of my project.

Right now when try to create a new VS project and import my non-VS c++ project, it automatically puts all header files in one folder and source files in another completely ignoring my folder structure. How do I get visual studio to keep my folder structure when opening a C++ project that's not created with visual studio?

Answer 1

I suppose you can select the project and then select Show All Files from Solution Explorer tool bar. You can then Include and Exclude files/folders from the project directory.

Answer 2

Right click the folder you want them to be in in Solution Explorer , select Add->Existing Item...

This skips a lot of the nice updating/verifying performed when you create a new VS project from existing files but is one way to structure a lot of files.

I'd prefer to manage them within Solution Explorer but I feel this is so obvious you either dissapprove or have a prohibitively large number of files to hunt and sort them with the small Solution Explorer window pane.
