Windows form question
Hello everyone,
I'm pretty much just starting to learn C++ and I got a question about windows form. I'm using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition and there is an option to easily create a windows form under CLR. I made a program that I would like not to run in the usual Dos application window but in the window form that I created.
I don't even know if what I'm asking is possible, please help.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I'm wondering if it is possible to run a program compiled with visual C++ outside dos but rather with a windows form (What I mean is I want it to run in its own special window, like most windows programs do).
Technically, unless it's VC++ 6.0, it's now impossible to run a windows program on DOS.
IIRC, the CLR is not C++, but .NET.
Also, since this is in the beginners forum, I'll assume you're one and recommend you stick with the console.

Actually, I'm not trying to run a windows program on DOS, I'm trying to do the exact opposite. You know how the programs run in a DOS console, I was just wondering if it's possible to make them run in a different window, that would look like normal windows applications.

What I meant to say was that no current C++ compiler compiles for DOS.
And yes, it's possible. But the CLR is not C++, it's .NET.

Making the switch to a Windows Form application would not be very easy. Many of your variables would have to be give a new type and the structure of you code might change a bit.
