Visual Studio 2022 add classes.

[Azaratur]

Hi guys, I am pretty new of axmol, I did use cocos2dx for a while in past and now I was using cocos creator, which I think has some serious performance issues.

I am trying to understand how axmol works, but I am having a lot of issue to add some classes and folder on the source folder.
When I do try to add some c++ file from visual studio it always add it on the build folder instead of the source one.
Also cannot add a new folder since when I move to folder view, it only show me the build folder (win32 root folder)
Do you have any suggestions?

When I do try to add some c++ file from visual studio it always add it on the build folder instead of the source one.

Right click the folder named "Source" in VS, and then add the files to that. They should appear in the correct folder on disk, and they should not be in the build folder.

Adding folders via Visual Studio isn't the same, because they're not actually folders on disk, they are just "filters", being virtual folders in the project tree. The only way to add folders on disk is to create them yourself manually (via Windows Explorer, command prompt etc.), then as @halx99 pointed out, re-run axmol -c -f to update the Visual Studio project so it picks up those folders and shows them in the IDE.

What command are you using to add the new item, or rather, what do you use to get this popup:

Right click, add, add new item.

Never mind, just found that it's the compact view. If you click "Show All Templates", then it shows the full view.

OK, so I just reproduced the same issue. I just realized that it was working for me because I've been creating files via the Resharper interface, not the default Visual Studio one:

If you don't use Resharper, then perhaps there is another addon that handles file creation as you would expect, since the default Visual Studio file generation is actually really bad. For the time being, you may have to manually move the files out of the build folder and into the Source folder, then re-run axmol -c -f to update the project.

No, I don't.
Thank you for the infos, will check how I can handle it.
