I'm really new to virtual studio and programming in general & I'm using Visual Studio Community 2015 Desktop Version (from what I know).
I can't find a Windows Forms Application from the C++ category, while there is one for C#.
Can anyone help, do I need to download another version, a plugin, or anything?
Sorry if a stupid question, I just really can't figure it out!
There are no C++ Windows Form templates in Visual Studio 2015. As I see it, you have two choices:
Create an empty C++ CLR project and add a Windows Forms to it. This link puts it like this (credit to the onContentStop, the user who posted this):
Inside the CPP file that is created, paste this code, replacing anything in square brackets except
[STAThread] with the appropriate names:
#include "[FORM NAME].h" using namespace System; using namespace System::Windows::Forms; [STAThread]//leave this as is void main(array<String^>^ args) { Application::EnableVisualStyles(); Application::SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false); Application::Run(gcnew [PROJECT NAME]::[FORM NAME]); }
Right click your project in the Solution Explorer and click Properties.
