C++ WinForms in Visual Studio 2019 | Getting Started

Finally a good explanation on what is required to develop C++ GUI App, thank you

[@hacked101]

Glad it was helpful!

Am new to C++ and I followed the same procedure but am getting an error "The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed. The designer inspected the following classes in the file: Form1 --- The base class 'System.Windows.Forms.Form' could not be loaded. Ensure the assembly has been referenced and that all projects have been built. " Now am stuck and don't know what else to do. Help please

[@ranqi2301]

very useful, surprised that a video like this only has 3562 views, I watched many videos that come from channels that have millions of subscribers, None of them helped me.

[@proudyy]

I totally agree on that. This video is simple but good and does it. Others are way worse than this one. He just came straight to the point and had shown us how to install the extension and setup the form. Just what "Getting started" should be. 😁😁

[@Sultaneous]

Thanks for this quick primer. Windows forms support for c++ used to be available by default in the older versions, too bad it isn't as straightforward anymore. BTW your mike is not picking your voice up very well, so the audio is a little weak.

Thank you so very much for this tutorial! I finally see some light at the end of the tunnel! The only problem is that I had to activate closed caption to understand what you are saying since the sound is very bad.

[@hacked101]

No doubt

Hello, I have been following this guide step by step but when I try to open the Form1.h file I get an error "The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed. The designer inspected the following classes in the file: Form1 --- The base class 'System.Windows.Forms.Form' could not be loaded. Ensure the assembly has been referenced and that all projects have been built. " and wont show the GUI preview window. I also get an error on the code portion of the file saying that using namespace System is an error statement stating that System is not a namespace and that a namespace should be used.

how would i easily make another form instead of just 1? ive managed it but it was a bit difficult and i had to edit the vcxproj file which i dont really want to do for every new form i make. ty

[@hacked101]

You are welcome

[@proudyy]

Exactly what I needed. You just hit the point and you didn't trash talk at all or talked too much. Just the mic quality could be better because I had to turn the volume up to 100%. Also I was wondering about the window size / window proportion or the resolution at all. However, the tutorial itself was nice, so you got my thumbs up. 😁

removing the forms option for C++ was a ridiculous thing to do. I can't believe it cost them anything to leave it in there and I had a ton of forms apps I created and maintained in VS 2010 and it was annoying to find it missing. I can deal with the German just fine and am grateful it's back 🙂

To fix this issue you need C++/CLI support. To install it open visual studio 2019, go on "Tools">"Get Tools and Features"; it will open the V.S. installer. Click on single components and search for C++/CLI and check ✔ the last version and install it. Rboot V.S. and now it should work.
