I have been searching for easy to use include-dependency graphing options for Visual Studio-based C++ projects, but the only one I could find didn't seem to work with Unreal Engine 4-based projects, and they didn't respond to support requests, so here I am.

If Visual Assist is already building up a cache of where files, symbols, etc, are, it would be great if a visual graph could be generated that shows which files include which other files.

It seems like an area that's not much covered, so maybe it's tougher than I realize, but I would very much love this feature, for example when checking to see why changing file x results in rebuilding files a, b, and c, especially if the path between them isn't a direct #include.

Kind regards,
Brody

We don't quite offer this, but you can try:

VAssistX -> Tools -> List include files

which is explained under "Header Hierarchy in HCB" here:

hopefully this will help a bit with what you are looking for.
