Use MFC class in C++/CLI

[9193]

Hello,

I have a program, which one developed using MFC and the development is going on. Now I want to create the same application using C++/CLI. For that I want to re-create all the MFC class. If any mechanism for using the same MFC class in C++/CLI. I try one that, create .dll file using the MFC class and load that .dll file in to C++/CLI project. It is working.
But with out the use of .dll file, how can I use the same MFC class in my new C++/CLI project.

Please help me
Sabi

Sorry, I'm not up with these acronyms. What is C++/CLI? Is it a console program or a windows program.

If you want to use MFC without the DLL, after adding the project, under Application Type, select "Use MFC in a static library".

I'm just getting in to C++/CLI, but from what I understand so far, you just use the System.Forms within the .net framework.

xwb...C++/CLI is the .Net integration of C++. They decided to give it a new name since their first 2 attempts didn't work out so well. They've added a lot of additional commands to allow the developer to work directly with the Framework (at least that's my understanding that this early phase of learning)

Thought as much - I'm from the old school where CLI stood for Command Line Interface. Anyway System.Forms stuff in M$ extended C++ is beyond me. Guess I'll just leave that to the younger folk.

Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
CLI is not Command Line Interface, its Common Language Interface, Check Visual Studio-2008, create project -> CLR type. We want to use MFC class in this project. I am trying for that.

Yeah...xwb was just pointing out that MS used a previous acronym for their new interface.

xwb...yeah...first time I saw CLI, I thought the same thing! My next thought was "If ya want CLI, just create a Console App and you're done...no need to recreate the wheel"
