Hi All,
I am using Visual C++ .Net to create a windows forms application and I am
getting the following errors when I do a MessageBox::Show in my Form1.cpp
file:
Form1.cpp(19): error C2653: 'MessageBoxA' : is not a class or namespace name
Form1.cpp(19): error C2660: 'System::Windows::Forms::Control::Show' :
function does not take 1 arguments
If I move the MessageBox::Show line into the Form1.h file, there is no
problem. Any one have any ideas?
Here is the sample code:
Form1.cpp
-----------
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "Form1.h"
#include <windows.h>
using namespace C2653Error;
int APIENTRY _tWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPTSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
{
System::Threading::Thread::CurrentThread->ApartmentState =
System::Threading::ApartmentState::STA;
Application::Run(new Form1());
return 0;
}
void Form1::ShowAMessage()
{
MessageBox::Show(S"Test Message");
}
Form1.h
---------
#pragma once
namespace C2653Error
{
using namespace System;
using namespace System::ComponentModel;
using namespace System::Collections;

{
this->button1 = new System::Windows::Forms::Button();
this->SuspendLayout();
//
// button1
//
this->button1->Location = System::Drawing::Point(96, 104);
this->button1->Name = S"button1";
this->button1->TabIndex = 0;
this->button1->Text = S"button1";
this->button1->Click += new System::EventHandler(this, button1_Click);
//

//

this->ClientSize = System::Drawing::Size(292, 273);

this->Text = S"Form1";
this->ResumeLayout(false);
}
private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object * sender,
System::EventArgs * e)
{
ShowAMessage();
}
};
}
Also, I have tried adding all of the 'using namespace' lines that are in the
.h file to the .cpp file, but no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard
