I don't that word 'browse', means what you think it means.

Download the code (click on the "Download source" link ) extract and copy and include the files in your project.

Thanks, maximilen
I downloaded the source files already. However, how to include the files in my project. Just copy and paste in my project folder? Do I need to add something more to make it browsed.

(I'm using VS2008, adapt to whatever version of visual studio you are using).

In your project, you should have an active project (in bold in the "solution explorer); right-click on the "bold" title (*), there should be a menu entry called "Add" and in that sub-menu, a "Existing Item..." menu entry, just click that and select the appropriate files to add to your project.

You will probably have to check the include files are valid ...

Compile, fix compiler and linter errors ...

(*) You could also use VS's menubar "Project" and click on "add existing items...".
