Hi, I am using Visual Studio 2005 C++/CLI. I posted this before with no responses so maybe no one knows. I want to use an existing Form from another project (I don't want to recreate the 50 controls on the Form). I can include the Form into my project but if I then try to modify the Form from the Solution Explorer by right clicking on the form name and selecting 'View Designer', I can't because this option is not available to me like it is with the Forms that I created in this project. Can Forms AND their design views be copied from one project to another?
Thanks
Buck

What you are talking about may be possible but it might be better asked in a Visual Studio forum since your question deals more with a VS feature. IMHO, the relationship between C++/CLI and the View Designer can be broken with little effort.

Hi Buck,
I see two approaches that should work:
if the form you want to copy is the only form in its project (or constitutes the majority of
the existing project), I would use Windows Explorer and duplicate the entire folder containing
project, source files, and resources; then choose a new folder name and open the copied
project, modifying what needs to be changed, and adding what you want to add.
if the form you want to copy is to become something other than the main form of an
existing project, I would simply copy all the related files (myform.cs, myform.Designer.cs,
myform.resx) to the new projects folder, then add these "existing items" to the project,
then modify what needs to be modified.
Whatever approach you choose, if you want to rename the form's class and/or the form's
file name(s), I would do it using Visual, not in Explorer nor by editing the project files.
Hope this helps.

Sure, but then I figure C++ can't be lagging that much

The designers in C++/CLI are one or more version behind C#. In .NET 1.0, there was no Windows Forms Designer. If you change the name of the form's class without making other manual changes, the designer will cease to work.

Hi George,
I was not aware of that, but then I don't use C++ very much.
Thanks for the info.

Perhaps you shouldn't develop a form with 50 controls on it?

I use System::Diagnostics::ProcessStartInfo. Ex below
<code>Diagnostics::ProcessStartInfo ^pInfo;
if ( String::IsNullOrEmpty(SoundString) == false )
{
if ( System::IO::File::Exists(SoundString) == true )
{
pInfo = gcnew Diagnostics::ProcessStartInfo();
pInfo->Verb = "play";
pInfo->FileName = SoundString;
pInfo->CreateNoWindow = true;
pInfo->UseShellExecute = false;
Diagnostics::Process::Start(pInfo);
}
else
LogDebugInfo(String::Format(L"SoundString file {0} does not exists", SoundString));
}
else
{
LogDebugInfo(L"SoundString string was empty");
} </code>

I am trying to learn C++. I am trying to write a program that will allow a 5 digit number to be input and then print the digits seperated by three spaces. I have the following, but when I try to compille it I am getting an error. I would defenitely appreciate any help.
#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;
int main();
{
a = number1 / g%;
b = a / g%;
c = b/ g%;
d= c/ g%;
e = d/g;
g = 10
cout << "Enter a five digit number : ";
cin >> number 1;
cout << "a b c d e" << endl;
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
keep getting the following errors, when trying to compile the program
How would I fix this?
expected ';' unqualified-id before ‘{‘ token
expected ’;’ or ‘;’ before ‘{‘ token

Hi,
error messages normally contain line numbers, and Visual and other IDEs are capable of
displaying line numbers in the left margin, so how hard can it be?
seems like you add and forget to add semi-colons...

Seems tough if you have never written a progrma before.
the line error is for line 8.
I am wating to understandd why I am getting the error.

By the time you posted this, I had explained it.

This is the managed C++ forum, the visual C++ forum was the right place for this question. You may think I'm a Nazi for saying so, truth is, a lot more people will see your question ( and therefore can help you ) if you post in the right place.

Oh, and you didn't forget a ;. the ; in this line is in error. It means you're announcing your intent to write a main method, elsewhere, and everything that follows is therefore a method without a name, which is the error.

Thanks for the tip. I will post in the correct place in the future. This shows how new this is to me.

Sure - like I said, just trying to help you get better help here in the future. It's not a big deal.

hi all... i am using ICC_BAR_CLASSES to initialize controls to create toolbar....
but i am getting one error
[linker error] undefined reference to `InitCommonControlsEx@4'
code creating problem is...
//-----------------------------------
INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX InitCtrlEx;
InitCtrlEx.dwSize = sizeof(INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX);
InitCtrlEx.dwICC = ICC_BAR_CLASSES;
InitCommonControlsEx(&InitCtrlEx);
//-----------------------------------
As structure INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX and function InitCommonControlsEx(..) are defined in commctrl.h i included this in my program.....earlier INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX this was also giving same error then i opened the header file commctrl.h and there i found these lines
//--------------------------------------
#if (_WIN32_IE >= 0x0300)
typedef struct tagINITCOMMONCONTROLSEX {
DWORD dwSize;
DWORD dwICC;
} INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX,*LPINITCOMMONCONTROLSEX;
#endif
//--------------------------------------
#if (_WIN32_IE >= 0x0300)
BOOL WINAPI InitCommonControlsEx(LPINITCOMMONCONTROLSEX);
#endif
//--------------------------------------
so in my program before header file in included
#ifdef _WIN32_IE
#undef
#endif
#define _WIN32_IE 0x501
and also
#ifdef _WIN32_WINNT
#undef
#endif
#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x501
now INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX is working fine... but i am getting error with InitCommonControlsEx(...)
error is
[linker error] undefined reference to `InitCommonControlsEx@4'
i am using Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2 compiler
can someone suggest me something...
thanx in advance....
bye have a nice day.....
