hdtree

Windows application that allows the creation of a tree containing categories as first-level items and materials contained by these categories. This repository provides fully-working project files for building the code with RAD Studio 11 and Visual Studio 2022 using the latest ISO C++ Standard available.

Instructions:

• Install Visual Studio 2022 with the C++ packages and/or RAD Studio 11. I've written a doc for installing Visual Studio in case you need it
• Open hdtree.sln and/or hdtreeappGroup.groupproj, respectively.
• Build everythig and run.
• The resulting files can be found in the folder that contains this repository, inside a folder called Win32.Debug, Win32.Embarcadero.Debug, Win32.Release, Win32.Embarcadero.Release, x64.Debug, x64.Embarcadero.Debug, x64.Release or x64.Embarcadero.Release, depending on the IDE and configuration chosen for building the project. In there you fill find the hdtreeapp.exe file that you can execute to run the program.
• You still need to copy the .bmp files manually to the folder where the hdtreeapp.exe file is located (which is one of othe output folders mentioned above), except when running the program from Visual Studio.

Notes:

• The categories display a custom icon depending on whether they are empty or are expanded or collapsed. The materials just have a single icon.
• The application provides a button for clearing the tree.
• The application provides buttons for adding categories and materials. The buttons enable a text input field which creates the category or material on pressing the enter key.
• The contents of the window adjust their size and position if the window is resized.

Architecture overview:

• The hdtree folder contains a static library that defines the business logic. It contains code that should build for every platform.
• The hdtreeapp folder contains the application code that defines the graphical user interface. It provides a system-specific interface to the business logic provided by htree.
• The hdtreeapp_win32.cpp file is the only platform-specific code file from this repository. Everything else should build smoothly for other platforms.
• The .gitignore file has been set up to avoid adding temporary folders or local files to the repository.
• The output folders and project tree has been set up such that the project supports parallel compilation of the different build configurations.
