Visual C++ "Windows Forms Application"
So I designed a friendly gui in hope to add to it the real code which is running while a clicking event occurs.
The problem is I don't seem to be able to put my code there cause the compiler is giving me error when I try to include the "Windows.h" file.
From my understanding, it causes conflict with other setting or files.
This is my code without errors, just the gui and no touching of the main file:
But when I'm trying to add this code in the "button1_Click" function, the errors start:
I searched and found that instead of the MessageBox function I can use MessageBox::Show() which is identically the same. But that doesn't fix my entirely problem. Since I need to use more functions that relly on the Windows.h file.
Any suggestion, or I'm doing it completely wrong?
If I'll start a WIN32 Project in Visual Studio I'll probably be able to implement my old code but for that I'll need to learn a bunch of whole new things. So it's not simple.
