I started C++ 2 days ago, and i'm really not very good at it. I need a little help... A lot of help actually. I'll post the ccp code and the 'form1.h' for you guys, but I really dont know what to do.

CPP:

Code:

// Calc.cpp : main project file.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "Form1.h"

using namespace Calc;

[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;
}
	
	#include <iostream>
	using namespace std;
	int Winmain()

{
	float ElementalEffect;
	float MAG;
	float Amp;
	float BaseSpellAttack;
	float SkillMastery;
	float INT;
	float MaxMAtt;
	float MinMAtt;
	
	cin>>INT;
	
	cin>>MAG;
	
	cin>> BaseSpellAttack;
	
	cin>>SkillMastery;
	
	cin>>ElementalEffect;
	
	cin>>Amp;
	
	
	
	MinMAtt = (MAG*3+SkillMastery+MAG*0.003365 +INT*0.26)*BaseSpellAttack/100+(BaseSpellAttack*Amp/100)*ElementalEffect;
	MaxMAtt = (MAG*3.3+MAG*MAG*0.003365+INT*0.5)*(BaseSpellAttack*Amp/100)*ElementalEffect;
	
	
	cout<<MinMAtt<<endl;
	
	cout<<MaxMAtt<<endl;
	
	cin.get();
	return 0;	
}

'Form1.h':

Any help? Thanks in advance.

**Hussain Hani** · 01-21-2008

what kind of IDE are you using?? what kind of library are you using?? WinAPI32 ??

**bradszy** · 01-21-2008

The Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment? Is that what you mean? -I hardly know anything about C++ lol-

**cyberfish** · 01-22-2008

It's rarely a good idea to start C++ with GUI codes. Try the tutorial on this site first. GUI programming requires a lot more than basic C++ (a lot more than what one can possibly learn in two days).

**Salem** · 01-22-2008

Nor is what was posted actually C++, but an MS specific abomination.

Great, if you want to hitch your wagon to everything Microsoft does for the rest of your life.

http://www.rafb.net/efnet_cpp/books/
Start with say "Accelerated C++".

**abh!shek** · 01-22-2008

Oh! I have been with C++ since 3 months......and I don't understand a word in your prog! You got sooooooo far just in 2 days!!

**CornedBee** · 01-22-2008

Yeah, he managed to click a button on a wizard.

**Elysia** · 01-22-2008

C++ dot net is poised to become a standard from what I understand.
Anyway, this is managed C++ (aka C++ dot net) and not native C++, so that's why it looks so strange.

**CornedBee** · 01-22-2008

Small correction: there is no C++.Net, and Managed C++ ("C++ with Managed Extensions for C++") is something different from C++/CLI, the actual language undergoing pseudo-standardization in the ECMA.

**Elysia** · 01-22-2008

What's the difference between the two?
C++ + dot net access is basically C++ dot net, but is also referred to CLI or Managed I think?

**bradszy** · 01-23-2008

So is anybody able to show me how to do this? I'd be very grateful if somebody could.
Thanks again.

**cpudaman** · 01-23-2008

I believe Cyberfish already helped you:

It's rarely a good idea to start C++ with GUI codes. Try the tutorial on this site first. GUI programming requires a lot more than basic C++ (a lot more than what one can possibly learn in two days).

**bradszy** · 01-23-2008

So there's a tutorial for exactly what I need? I'll take a look through them. Thanks.

**CornedBee** · 01-23-2008

Basically, what you need is to delete the project and start over. This time, select "Win32 Console Application" and check the "Empty Project" option in the project wizard.

**bradszy** · 01-23-2008

Sounds like a plan. Can anybody reccomend me tutorials to remake it? Or walk me through it? Sorry about this, but this situation is about as fun for me as it is for you guys. (And gals) Thanks once again.
