adding Dialog to c++.Net project

[BeePo]

Hi,
Can I add resources (dialog) to exiting c++.net project?
I'm very very new to c++.Net. Here the way how I created the project.
1) New project
2) Visual C++ Projects
3) Clicked on .Net folder
4) Empty Project (.Net)

then I add the dialog resource
1) Right click on Project
2) Add Resource
3) Choose Dialog, the Click on New
4) I double click on the dialog, then MFC Class Wizard window come out.
5) Then I insert the Class name for that dialog, chose Dialog for based classes.
6) I click on Finished

But nothing has created... no class or any cpp or .h file get created.
Why is it? Is it because the dialog is only for regular MFC project and not for .Net project?

Thanks

Creating the resource does not automatically create the class for it. This is by design. You have to right click on the dialog and select add class and this will bring up the class wizard. Same for all of the items. As you create the dialogue, you will drag things from the toolbox onto the dialogue and organize things. Then if you want to have class variables associated with the buttons and controls, you'll have to right click on them and select add variable. Play around with the wizard some and you'll see that if you right click on the dialogue or buttons and select properties that a properties view will come up and allow you to configure the dialogue and buttons; you'll be able to add functions to handle windows messages or override base class functions. Try fiddling around with those features and I think you'll find the wizard in visual studio .Net to be quite intuitive. The same is true of menus. You have to setup the properties and use the wizard to add function handlers for menu items as well.

Hope that helps,
Shawn

Yes, I right click on dialog, and add the class. it does allow me to add the class now. but when i run the program, i got following errors.
Is it because my application is c++.Net, form based application?

The problem above was fixed by adding
#include ".\resoruce.h"

But I can't call
myDlg.DoModal().
I got assert error.

Can anyone tell me how to add and use the dialog (CDialog) in C++.Net application as I am used to use in MFC applications.

Thank you.
