System::Windows::Forms Namespace ??
-
Hi all, I am writing a console app which will in turn run a windows application then simulate sending keyboard command to the application. I have been able to run the app and get it's handle and all that - every thing here is fine. To issue keyboard command I will have to use the SendKeys::SendWait("%F"); The '%F' simulates the Alt-F to access the menu. Seeing that SendKeys is a member of the System::Windows::Form namespace I have to include this in my code, which I have done like this:
#using "System.Windows.Forms.dll" using namespace System::Windows::Forms;When I then compile the code, I get the following errors: : error C3083: 'Windows': the symbol to the left of a '::' must be a type : error C2039: 'Forms' : is not a member of 'System' : error C2871: 'Forms' : a namespace with this name does not exist : error C3083: 'Windows': the symbol to the left of a '::' must be a type : error C3083: 'Forms': the symbol to the left of a '::' must be a type : error C3083: 'SendKeys': the symbol to the left of a '::' must be a type : error C2039: 'SendWait' : is not a member of 'System' : error C3861: 'SendWait': identifier not found So, what have I done wrong and how is this rectified ?? Pete PS: Writing with VC++ 2005you don't need to use #using "System.Windows.Forms.dll" yust by adding namespace, you aotomaticly add references

Dou you men like this: menu1->Text = "&File"; // ALT-F menu2->Text = "&Edit"; // ALT-E menu3->Text = "E&xit"; // ALT-X

Ok..... I have now taken out the line:
#using "System.Windows.Forms.dll"And now just using:using namespace System::Windows::Forms;But still when compiling I get the following errors:: error C3083: 'Windows': the symbol to the left of a '::' must be a type : error C2039: 'Forms' : is not a member of 'System' : error C2871: 'Forms' : a namespace with this name does not existPete -

Have you added a reference to the "System.Windows.Forms.dll" ? If not, reference this dll in your project and then try compiling the code. Hope this might help you. Girish K
G'Day Girish, Yea, I had that in my original code:
#using <System.Windows.Forms.dll>and also had:using namespace System::Windows::Forms;But I was told to take the top line out as the namespace will reference the DLL. But when I compile either way I still get that same error code. Pete -

Petego to menu: Project->(Your Project Name) Properties->Common Properties On the right you will see references And you can click Add Reference. Other oproblem coud be: Under General, look if you have Common Language Runtime Support. As long as you have with /clr Third possible. You can have problem with a code. If so then try to add a comment to all includes. If you have a problem with client, yust to be same make an test project. But this namespace would automaticly be in use

Then Add reference to "System.Windows.Forms.dll". Try to compile your code after you have added this line using namespace System::Windows::Forms; Compile and check if it works. If this does not work, then please post your code snippet.. Thanks & Regards, Girish K

G'Day Girish, Yep ya right.... thought you meant
#usingYou know us Aussies.... a bit slow :-D Thanks for the tip off and will try again in the morn when I get back to work. Take care mate and have a good one. Pete -

Hey Girish, I have just tried your suggestion - and I am back up and running. Thanks again and have a great Xmas. Pete
