Hi I'm creating an application in Windows forms. I wondering if any knows how a System::Diagnostics::Process::Start("C:\\path\\my.exe"); which opens an application in a window to place that window in my form?
|

|
|
|
This[^] is in C#, but it should help.
Take care,
Tom

Hi, this is probably an absurd question, but I'm really new to working in C++/CLI, so please bare with me. I have a solution that compiles into an application (.exe). I was wondering if it was at all possible to convert the project into Custom Windows Form control, so that I can place it in a Wondows form. The application is Scite, btw. Or if anyone knows how to get a Scintilla based text editor to be a Forms Control, that would also help.
Thank you!

Hi, i'm using windows forms and I was wondering how to add to a listBox from a comboBox. Also how to remove an item from the listBox.
<br />
private: System::Void btnConfirmCommand_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) {<br />
<br />
this->cmbCommands->Select();<br />
this->lstCommands->Items->Add(cmbCommands);<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
private: System::Void btnRemoveCommand_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) {<br />
<br />
this->lstCommands->Select();<br />
this->lstCommands->Items->Remove(lstCommands);<br />
<br />
}<br />

You need to pass in the actual string you want to add not the ComboBox control.

so i create a string say x, how do you set an item in the comboBox to x?
<br />
string x;<br />
<br />
this->cmbCommands->Select();<br />
cmbCommands->SelectedItem;<br />
<br />
this->lstCommands->Items->Add("x");<br />
<br />

Are you in school or leaning by working from a book or what? If you are using a book to start out I think you might need a different book, or you may have skipped some stuff or something. This is very very beginner level stuff and you are already on to list boxes and combo boxes without knowing it. That's probably not a good idea.

This should solve your problem.
<br />
<br />
if(cmbCommands->Text->Length > 0)<br />
{<br />
lstCommands->Items->Add(cmbCommands->Text);<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
if(lstCommands->SelectedIndex !=-1)<br />
{<br />
lstCommands->Items->RemoveAt(lstCommands->SelectedIndex);<br />
}<br />

Hello everyone,
I have a lot of MFC control classes in C++,and I want to wrap them with C++/CLI and resue them in C# Application. but I do not know how to wrap them.
Can anyone give an hand? Thanks a lot.

Look at the Articles here on CodeProject on the subject C++/CLI (look in the menu bar on the side of the page under "Chapters"). There is nothing specific about wrapping MFC other than any compiler/linker settings one might need and of course the dependency issues on deployment. Otherwise you are just wrapping a Native C++ class in a managed C++/CLI class.

Hello,
I think Nishant Sivakumar's book "C++\CLI in action" talks about this specific topic in "6.6 Using an MFC control in a Windows Forms form" titled chapter.
I've not tried yet... but i hope this helps.

I have callback[delegate] in managed code being called by native code. It works fine the first time but on the next call the native code blows up. Bear with me the structure is a little twisted, but I'll try my best to explain.
Here's the general structure:
Client
|
--->ServiceInterface
|
--->NativeService
The main question is how should I be passing the callback to the native code from the ServiceInterface initialization?.
Should the delegate be pinned before passing it to the native code?
The following is not exact code but a snapshot of how the code is interacting.
// Managed code
#include "ServiceInterface.h"
ref class Client
{
public:
ServiceInterface ^mngService;
Client()
{
mngService = gcnew ServiceInterface(this);
}
void initialize()
{...}
void Task1()
{
mngService->registerCallback(Task1_Callback);
}
void Task2()
{
mngService->registerCallback(Task2_Callback);
}
static int Task1_Callback(void *pdata, MessageType event)
{
Console::WriteLine(L"Task 1 completed...");
// cast and remove listener for task 1
return 1;
}
static int Task2_Callback(void *pdata, MessageType event)
{
Console::WriteLine(L"Task 2 completed...");
// cast and remove listener for task 2
return 2;
}
};
// ServiceInterface.h
#include <nativecode.h>
public delegate int Callbackfunction(void *pdata, MessageType event);
ref class ServiceInterface
{
private:
static list<Callbackfunction> callbacklist;
NativeService *service;
static Callbackfunction ^MessageProcessor;
static GCHandle ghMasterCallback;
static IntPtr ipMasterCallback;
ServiceInterface(Object ^client)
{
service = new NativeService();
//// Thought this was the way to pass function pointer to native code,
//// but crashed on the first callback.
//MessageProcessor= gcnew Callbackfunction(&Service::MessageEngine);
//ghMasterCallback = GCHandle::Alloc(MessageProcessor);
//ipMasterCallback = Marshal::GetFunctionPointerForDelegate(MessageProcessor);
//service->RegisterEventProcessor((Callbackfunction)ipMasterCallback.ToPointer(), client(Void * Value));
// Instead this method seem to work, at least for the first callback but dies on the second callback[Task 2]
service->RegisterEventProcessor((Callbackfunction)&MessageEngine, client(Void * Value));
callbacklist = new list<Callbackfunction>;
}
void registerCallback(Callbackfunction ^callback)
{
callbacklist->push_back(callback);
}
void removeCallback(Callbackfunction ^callback)
{ // removes the given callback function}
// Registered as EventProcessor with NativeCode
// Calls delegates in managed code
int MessageEngine(void *pdata, MessageType event)
{
list <Callbackfunction>::iterator Iter;
for ( Iter = callbacklist.begin( ); Iter != callbacklist.end( ); Iter++ )
static_cast<Callbackfunction>(*Iter)(pdata,event);
}
};
// UNManaged code
// nativecode.h
enum MessageType
{
EVENT_START,...
};
typedef int (* Callbackfunction)(void *pdata, MessageType event);
class NativeService
{
private:
void *clientContext;
public:
NativeService(){...}
Initialize(){...}
// Callback function to be defined in managed interface
Callbackfunction EventProcessor;
DoWorkFunction
{
:
:
// Message generated from service
MessageType newMessage;
DispatchCallback(EventProcessor(clientContext, newMessage));
}
RegisterEventProcessor(Callbackfunction processor, void * client)
{
EventProcessor = processor;
clientContext = client;
}
};

Hi,
I did not study your code in detail, but I remember from earlier work the most probable
cause for a "works one time then bombs" situation is a mismatch in the calling conventions
(stdcall, CDecl, that kind of stuff). When calling from managed to unmanaged, you
can choose on both sides and of course you must choose the same on both sides; when
calling from unmanaged to managed, the managed side is fixed, and you must add the
right keywords to make the unmanaged side match the managed side.
Don't trust the defaults, look it up and use the correct calling convention explicitly.
[ADDED]
Another thing to keep in mind is the different sizes of some primitive data types;
among the most confusing are long (32bit unmanaged, 64bit managed) and char (8bit unmanaged,
16bit managed).
Also, if Win64 is relevant, make sure to pass all handles (as well as lParam and wParam)
as IntPtr, which takes either 32-bit or 64-bit depending on the platform.

Thanks for the feedback Luc. I'll double check those types, even though I doubt that's the root of the issue.
Thanks,

I am working on a winamp plugin in managed c++. i have another dll referenced in my project that i need to use (in C#). Everything compiles fine, however when the dll is loaded into winamp it throws a FileNotFoundException stating it can't load the C# dll. the dll is in the same directory as the c++/cli. what do i need to do to get the assembly detected?
thanks in advance,

So the DLL is "Facebook.dll"? Does of the DLL match the one in the exception message?
teejayem wrote: I am working on a winamp plugin in managed c++.
Is the winamp interface to your DLL a native C++ interface? If so then there is probably some way (configuration data) to tell winamp where your DLL is right? So when the .NET runtime is loaded into the Winamp process, the .NET runtime doesn't know anything about the Winamp configuration data that points to the folder with those DLL's. The .NET runtime is using the current working folder of the Winamp process to look for that assembly, plus of course however else it looks for assemblies, but it certainly won't look in a folder that is only known to the Winamp native code.

yeah the facebook dll does match (version number and everything). you were right though, I put the facebook.dll in the directory where the executable lives (instead of the plugin directory where my plugin lives) and it worked perfectly! I always thought that the dependencies all had to be in the same folder (or else should be registered) and it had me totally messed up.
thank you so much!

Hi, all:
In VS2003, I had no problems declaring (custom control) properties that were visible in the properties window for the control - also in a catagory of my choosing (typically named after the control, itself).
With VS2008, I had to change the format for declaring the properties (to one much like that of C#). They compile without error, and can be used within the control class.
Problem is that they don't show in the properties window. Even if I use standard names. There also seems to be an insistance that I declare them as follows:
public:<br />
[Description("Some descriptive verbage"),Category("Layout"), Browsable(true)]
static property type propertyName {<br />
public: void set(type value) {...}<br />
public: type get() {....}<br />
}
The declaration as static has quite a few annoying side effects, and was unnecessary in the oldsyntax version (below).
This is not the first time I visited this problem, but now the frustration level is getting to me. How is this done correctly? I'd settle for, as above, where I have to use a predefine category, but would prefer to do as I'd done before, which is to block them together in a custom name.
Thanks, in advance,
Balboos
Old Syntax (VS2003):
<br />
public: <br />
[Description(S"Some Descriptive Verbage"),Category(S"Anything")]<br />
__property type get_PropertyName() { ... }<br />
__property void set_PropertyName(type value) { ... }

...and what were you doing wrong or needed to change? This way the next person that runs in to the same problem has some ideas on what needs to be fixed.
