RE: GUI and sockets

[jom20]

Hello,

I am trying to program in Visual C++ .NET using the studio software. I used to program in C++ however I was using C++ Builder by borland. In that software the components were readily available and therefore I didn't have to do much in terms of creating them as I did in Java. The problem I am having with Visual C++ is that I dont understand how to create the components using the language. I found that when I create with dialog boxes, when I run the application it doesn't appear, because for some reason its modal and I have no idea how to make it appear on the screen.

The second problem I am having is writing the code to connect to the socket using the winsock library. Any ideas????

Thanks
Trisha

I would suggest reading the online tutorials for dialogs. They explain well how to get started.

Basically, you define a dialog class

CMyDialog dlg;

To display it in modal mode:

dlg.DoModal(); // code waits here for dlg to exit.

to check for return value:

int nResponse = dlg.DoModal();
if (nResponse == IDOK)
{
// user clicked OK button
}

Helo,

Thanks for that I will try it, do you have any ideas about the sockets?

Thanks

Take a look at the network and/or internet section here at CodeGuru (http://www.codeguru.com). There are several examples of socket applications - most of them including source code...

Thanks I will do that.
