communication between form class and other c++ classes

[maketakunai]

trying to port a console rpg game to windows forms. it generates a lot of text output via cout of course. and i wanted to redirect that to a CombatLog TextBox on the window CoEAForm

//code and designer code

public: void coutCombatLog(System::String ^ text) {
CombatLog->AppendText(text);

battle.h

#include "CoEAForm.h"

class Battle

{

void checkWinner();
