Hi everyone,
i know that this topic has been asked several times before but none of them seems to be the solution to my problem. I need to create a windows form application(in visual studio 2005, 32 bit) which i need to build with a makefile. I simply start with
creating a windows form application and then changing the "properties->General->Configuration Type" to "Makefile". Then i add a simple makefile which practically does nothing. The problem is when i do that designer doesnt work anymore.
The contents of the files are:
form1.h:
<pre class="prettyprint #pragma once
namespace design {
using namespace System;
using namespace System::ComponentModel;
using namespace System::Collections;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;
using namespace System:
ata;
using namespace System:rawing;
public ref class Form1 : public System::Windows::Forms::Form
{
public:
Form1(void)
{
InitializeComponent();
}
protected:
~Form1()
{
if (components)
{
delete components;
}
}
private:
System::ComponentModel::Container ^components;
#pragma region Windows Form Designer generated code
void InitializeComponent(void)
{
this->components = gcnew System::ComponentModel::Container();
this->Size = System:rawing::Size(300,300);
this->Text = L"Form1";
this->Padding = System::Windows::Forms:
adding(0);
this->AutoScaleMode = System::Windows::Forms::AutoScaleMode::Font;
}
#pragma endregion
};
}[/code]
main file (design.cpp):
<pre class="prettyprint // design.cpp : main project file.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "Form1.h"
using namespace design;
[STAThreadAttribute]
int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
// Enabling Windows XP visual effects before any controls are created
Application::EnableVisualStyles();
Application::SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
// Create the main window and run it
Application::Run(gcnew Form1());
return 0;
}[/code]

I know the makefile doesnt do anything(it also doesnt work with a reasonable makefile), but i dont care the build operation in this case. The only change that i make is changing the "configuration type" property and changing the "Keyword" property
in the .vcproj file to Keyword="MakeFileProj". (Build doesnt work otherwise ?!). Im really stuck in here, looking for any helpful idea.
Thanks,
