You need to write an analogue of regedit in Windows for coursework in c++ or c# with a graphical interface. Where to begin? What libraries and technologies would you recommend?

Question

C++ / C#

Good afternoon. You need to write an analogue of the regedit utility for working with the Windows registry for coursework in c ++, you can also use c #, but this needs to be additionally agreed with the teacher, but I still don’t know how to approach it and what I need to use in general so as not to get stuck in this. I would like to clarify how difficult this task is in general, I didn’t write anything serious in C ++, mostly console mini programs, to hear some parting words, for example, which libraries can be used, the easiest way to create a graphical interface with these directories, maybe even a little sympathy due to my inexperience and the complexity of the task))) Maybe somewhere they saw a totorial on similar interface elements or another program component.

Answer 1

It is written quite simply. All you need:
- knowledge of the functions that allow you to work with the registry. They are, in my opinion, in winAPI, well, or they google very quickly
- some kind of framework for simple form-slapping. If there are still no skills, I recommend Qt.
The main thing is to separate model, data and view - don't try to draw the registry tree directly.
