Acessing C++ methods from VB .net

[Philip]

Hi, first of all I'm new to this whole .net thing so please forgive my
ignorance. Now I have a C++ object with me, and I want to be able to
call its methods from VB.net.

e.g.
[c++ code]
Foo::Foo
{
}
void Foo:isplay_Message()
{
printf("Hello World");
}

[vb code]
Dim myStringInstance As New Foo() ''Foo is the C++ object
myStringInstance.Display_Message() ''Display_Message prints out "hello
world"

Now what would be the easiest way I can make the above code work? Do
I have to make a COM object? Someone also told me to create a
netmodule, but I don't know how to create a C++ netmodule. And even
if I did know how to create a netmodule, I wouldn't know what to do
afterwards.

I'd really appreciate the help!


Sincerely,

Philip

I'd say that the easiest way would be to either make your code into Managed C++ or create a C++ Wrapper - creating a COM wrapper might work, but I
wouldn't call it simple

Good luck

Sorry I don't take feature request for WinRes: it belongs to the .NET Framework SDK. I'm a consumer of WinRes, just like you...

Hi

Your assumption is correct. I did not want to call out its long name
since I didn't know if that could be regarded as breach of NDA.

Thanks for the explanation. Do you take feature requests for WinRes?
I'd like to see a "remember last size and location" some day...

I'm afraid that LocStudio (when you say LS, I assume you are using LocStudio) does not have the option, and WinRes does not remember its size and
location when it was shut down.
If you are trying to call it in your own application, you can always use ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized when you start the process.

Hi

Let's imagine you're using a translation environment (LS) that's
launching WinRes every now and then. Is it possible to open WinRes in
full screen mode in this case? It's quite annoying that it doesn't
remember if I switch it to full screen mode the next time it is invoked.

thanks,
Thomas
