 Posted: Thu Jan 01, 2009 11:43 pm Post subject: [C++] Managed and native data types (cont.) |
 |
|
I've been trying lurc's and slovach's and everyone's methods to get around the epidemic of managed and data types, but I was wondering if I could do this using a dynamic link library.
The project I'm working on is my alarm clock. I have to start my process in order to close it. Now I want to improve the program by closing a window that the user specified.
The program is mainly .NET except for the closing the window part. How do I read the text from the textbox and use it to specify for the argument in the FindWindow?

GetDlgItemText? I dont really get the question. Are you using .net to read the textbox or win32. if win32 use GetDlgItemText

| .NET to read the textbox then using the data received from the textbox to use it for the Win32 FindWindow.

| Look at the marshal class for converting to unmanaged types, and stop using managed C++ for the life of christ, and switch to C#.

Why not use all win32 then? I dont get why you keep switching back and forth. Make a 100% managed or native function. You could import FindWindow from it's .dll and change the params to managed type?

| I use managed coding simply for the easier to design GUI. Designing GUI in Win32 confuses me and it never looks as good.

You can use ResEdit to create a RC file or direct CreateWindow code.
They look exactly as they do in VC++
http://www.resedit.net/ResEdit-ANSI.zip ANSI Build
http://www.resedit.net/ResEdit-UNICODE.zip UNICODE Build

So why are you not using C#? It's superior in every way.
Managed C++ has no support anymore.
