I have the following code, and I want to pass the variable test1 into the form, so that the form can read my test1 value. The var will be passed to SetParameter, a method under Form1. But I've encounted the following problem: error C2664: 'void System::Windows::Forms::TextBox::set_Text(System::String __gc *)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'int' to 'System::String __gc *' error C2039: 'SetParameter' : is not a member of 'System::Windows::Forms::Form' Form1.cpp main: Code: int APIENTRY _tWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPTSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) { int test1; string line; System::Threading::Thread::CurrentThread->ApartmentState = System::Threading::ApartmentState::STA; ifstream iFile("test.txt"); if (!iFile) { //error msg return -1; } iFile >> test1; iFile.close(); Form *Form1 = new Form(); Form1->SetParameter(test1); //put parameter into form Application::Run(Form1); //run app return 0; } Form1.h: Code: public __gc class Form1 : public System::Windows::Forms::Form { public: Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } void SetParameter(int t){ textBox1->Text = t; } protected: void Dispose(Boolean disposing)...... ..... ..... ..... Actually I dunno where should I put the SetParameter, and how to convert int "t" to __gc textbox text as shown in the method.(since compiling the method results the first error) Million thanks again.
You are creating an object of Type Form Form *Form1 = new Form(); but giving it just a name as Form1 but your class name is Form1 public __gc class Form1 : public System::Windows::Forms::Form and so SetParameter is a member of Form1 class and not Form class and thats why the error.
then, how could I change it in order to let the outside main see the SetParameter method and use it? thanks.
