Description of the Code

This code represents a Windows Forms application developed in C++/CLI using Visual Studio. It functions as a task management application, facilitating the organization of tasks and projects.

Key Components and Functionalities

1. UI Elements Handling:

   • Various event handlers (thisProject_click, addButton, deleteButton, etc.) respond to user interactions with buttons, list boxes, combo boxes, and data grids.
   • Manages visibility and interaction with UI elements based on user actions and selections.

2. Data Management:

   • Manipulates and manages task and project data within a TM (TaskManager) object.

3. UI Update and Validation:

   • Functions like UpdateProjectListBox, DisplayTasksInDataGridView, and UpdateIndex update UI components with appropriate data based on user actions or internal changes.
   • validateData and ConfirmDeletion functions validate user inputs and confirm deletion actions, respectively.

4. Add/Edit/Delete Operations:

   • Functions like AddNewTask, AddNewProject, EditTask, EditTaskInProject, EditProject, and DeleteTask handle adding, editing, and deleting tasks or projects.
   • These functions interact with the TM object to perform these operations.

5. UI Navigation:

   • Manages UI navigation based on user selections, allowing the switching between tasks and projects.

6. Data Import/Export:

   • importData and exportData functions manage the import and export of task and project data from/to text files.

Observations

• Utilizes a mix of C++/CLI and managed C++ along with Windows Forms to design the UI.
• Integrates list boxes, combo boxes, data grids, and calendar controls to effectively manage tasks and projects.
• Ensures consistency in handling task/project data and updating the UI in response to user actions.

Overall, this code presents a fundamental yet functional task and project management system. It facilitates functionalities for adding, editing, and deleting tasks or projects, displaying task/project details, and managing UI interactions.

The TaskManager header file (TaskManager.h) defines a class responsible for managing tasks and projects within a task management system. It contains private data members, methods for handling tasks and projects, and functionalities to load and save data from/to text files.

Class Structure

• Private Data Members:

  • std::vector<Task> tasks: Stores a collection of tasks.
  • std::vector<Project> projects: Stores a collection of projects.

• Private Methods:

  • saveTasks, loadTasks, saveProjects, loadProjects: Methods for saving and loading task and project data to/from text files.
  • isValidProjectIndex, isValidTaskIndex: Utility methods to validate project and task indices.

• Public Methods:

  • getTasks, getProjects: Retrieve the list of tasks and projects.
  • Methods to add, edit, delete, mark tasks as done/to do, set priorities, and manage tasks within projects (addTask, editTaskDescription, deleteTask, markTaskAsDone, markTaskAsToDo, setTaskPriority, setTaskID, etc.).
  • Methods to manage projects (createProject, deleteProject, editProjectName, addTaskToProject, editTaskInProject, editTaskDeadlineInProject, setProjPriority, setTaskAsDone, setTaskAsToDo, setProjTaskId).

• File Import/Export Methods:

  • exportData: Saves task and project data to specified files.
  • importData: Loads task and project data from specified files.

Functionality Overview

• Manages collections of tasks and projects using vectors.
• Provides functionalities to add, edit, delete, and mark tasks as done/to do.
• Supports task and project manipulation within the system.
• Handles file import/export operations for tasks and projects.

This class serves as a central component of a task management system, encapsulating the core functionalities for task and project management, providing methods to manipulate data, and enabling persistence by loading/saving data from/to text files.

The Project header file (Project.h) defines a class representing a project within a task management system. It encapsulates project-related functionalities, including managing tasks associated with the project.

Class Structure

• Private Data Members:

  • int projectId: Holds the unique identifier for the project.
  • std::string projectName: Stores the name of the project.
  • std::vector<Task> tasks: Maintains a collection of tasks associated with the project.

• Public Methods:

  • operator==: Overloaded equality operator to compare projects based on their IDs.
  • Project: Constructor to initialize the project with an ID and name.
  • addTask, removeTask: Methods to add and remove tasks from the project's task list.
  • getTasks: Retrieves a vector of tasks associated with the project.
  • Methods to modify task attributes within the project (setProjectPriority, setTaskId, setTaskAsDone, setTaskAsToDo, setTaskName, setDeadline).
  • setProjectName, getProjectName: Methods to set and retrieve the project's name.
  • setProjectId, getProjectId: Methods to set and retrieve the project's unique ID.

Functionality Overview

• Project Details:

  • Stores essential project information such as ID and name.
  • Manages a collection of tasks associated with the project.

• Task Management within Projects:

  • Supports addition and removal of tasks within a project (addTask, removeTask).
  • Provides methods to modify task attributes within the project (setProjectPriority, setTaskId, setTaskAsDone, setTaskAsToDo, setTaskName, setDeadline).

• Project Information Access:

  • Allows retrieval and modification of project attributes like name and ID (getProjectName, getProjectId, setProjectName, setProjectId).

Usage

• Creates instances of projects with unique IDs and names.
• Manages tasks associated with the project, including addition, removal, and modification of task attributes within the project scope.

This class serves as a container for tasks specific to a project, offering methods to manipulate and access project-related information and associated tasks. It plays a fundamental role in organizing tasks within the context of individual projects within the task management system.

The Task header file (Task.h) defines a class representing individual tasks within a task management system. It encapsulates essential functionalities related to managing and modifying task attributes.

Class Structure

• Private Data Members:

  • int taskId: Represents the unique identifier for the task.
  • std::string description: Stores the description or details of the task.
  • std::string deadline: Contains the deadline or due date for the task.
  • int priority: Indicates the priority level of the task.
  • bool status: Represents the completion status of the task (true for completed, false for pending).

• Public Methods:

  • operator==: Overloaded equality operator to compare tasks based on their IDs.
  • Task: Constructor to initialize a task with an ID, description, deadline, priority, and completion status.
  • Getter and setter methods for task attributes:
    • getTaskId, setId: Methods to retrieve and modify the task's unique ID.
    • getDescription, setDescription: Methods to retrieve and set the task description.
    • getDeadline, setDeadline: Methods to retrieve and set the task deadline.
    • getPriority, setPriority: Methods to retrieve and set the task priority.
    • isDone, markAsDone, markAsToDo: Methods to retrieve the completion status and mark tasks as done or pending.

Functionality Overview

• Task Details:

  • Stores essential information about individual tasks, including ID, description, deadline, priority, and completion status.

• Task Attribute Management:

  • Provides getter and setter methods to access and modify task attributes such as description, deadline, priority, and completion status.

• Task State Modification:

  • Allows tasks to be marked as completed (markAsDone) or pending (markAsToDo).

Usage

• Creates instances of tasks with unique IDs and attributes such as description, deadline, priority, and completion status.
• Manages and modifies task attributes such as description, deadline, priority, and completion status.

this class serves as a blueprint for individual tasks within the task management system. It facilitates the manipulation and management of task-related data and attributes, enabling operations related to task modification, status tracking, and access to task details.
