C++ GUI: Create Simple WinForms App in 30 Seconds! | Sciber

I created a project template for creating a Simple WinForms Project in Visual Studio (a fairly easy task to do, but didn't occur to me to start off the series with this) and released it to the Visual Studio Marketplace for you to download and use yourself!

Here's how to install and create the project and get started with WinForms in C++!

Please leave any issues and bugs with other versions like VS17 or 19 because I only tested this on 2022.

Leave your ideas in the comments section below!

Hi guys, recently I found a problem related to this project template thanks to your comments, the issue was that when we use this and use project resources, it starts giving exceptions. The workaround is to go all the way up to the namespace in MyForm.h and change $safeprojectname$ to your project name. Do this inside MyForm.cpp as well.

Then it works!

When I try to open the Header File I get the error “The designed could not be shown for this file because none of these classes within it can be designed. The designer inspected the following classes in the file: MyForm —- The base class ‘System.Windows.Forms.Form’ could not be loaded. Ensure the assembly has been referenced and that all projects have been built”. Any help is appreciated!
