2023-11-15 VC++/CLR: Winform Project Startup

To design the Visual C++ based WinForm program, the step as follows.

Tool Prepare

Add C++/CLR module in Visual Studio
Updating

Project Setting

New CLR empty project
Create Project. Here, we named it as “CPP CLR Test”
Project → Property → Linker → System → SubSystem
- Set as “Windows(/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS)”
Project → Property → Linker → Advanced → Entry Point
- Set as “main”
Header Files → Add UI → Windows Form
- Named as “MainForm.h”
- We got an error message, close it
We cannot edit the MainForm by FormEditor, just close the project and launch the Visual Studio again
Now, we can edit it by Form Editor

Add the main() in MainForm.cpp

#include "MainForm.h"

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;

void main(array < String^>^ args)
{
	Application::EnableVisualStyles();
	Application::SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
	CPPCLRTest::MainForm form;
	Application::Run(% form);
}

Now, we can compile and run it
