MFC is too complicate for vb programmer to jump in that because it’s very difficult for debugging compare to vb, I suggest someone want code in c++ native to use c++ managed becuz you can code in both unmanaged and managed.
example I can do this
String^ winclass="DlgGroupChat Window Class";
IntPtr pWinclas = System::Runtime::InteropServices::Marshal::StringToHGlobalAnsi(winclass);
//unmanaged code
char *Winclass=static_cast(pWinclas.ToPointer());
HWND hParent=FindWindow(Winclass,NULL);
char wincaption[255];
int x=GetWindowTextA(hParent,wincaption,255);
x =MessageBoxA(NULL,wincaption,wincaption,MB_OK);
//managed code
String^ s;
s= System::Runtime::InteropServices::Marshal::PtrToStringAnsi(static_cast(wincaption));
System::Windows::Forms::MessageBox::Show(s);
System::Runtime::InteropServices::Marshal::FreeHGlobal(pWinclas);
I call FindWindow and MessageBoxA directly from my managed project without using the P/Invoke like c# or vb have to use if they want some win32 function like FindWindow
and it’s seem easy to learn like vb 😆 click click click and you got it 😉
