Form Help

[Repix]

Hi
Im using Visual Studio 2008 Professional
I need some help with forms.
Im trying to edit a form object property in a c++ file instead of a form file.

Example:

// kek.cpp : main project file.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "Form1.h"
#include <string>

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;
using namespace kek;
using namespace std;

bool isEnabled = false;

[STAThreadAttribute]
int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
	// Enabling Windows XP visual effects before any controls are created
	Application::EnableVisualStyles();
	Application::SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false); 

	// Create the main window and run it
	Application::Run(gcnew Form1());

	// CODE HERE
	
	Form1::label1::Text = "blah blah blah";
	
	return 0;
}

Quick question: Is it possible? Or how is it done, if it is.

Yes it is possibly.

First you need to create a static constructor in Form1 and create the label there.
Second you need to declare a static property to return the label.

Form1.h
