Include moda in a visual C++ windows form application

[arismendi]

Hi! I'm trying to develop a windows form application using visual C++ in Visual Studio 2008 with the .Net framework 3.5, but i don't know how to include the moda library. I tried putting this line $(MARILOU_INSTALL_DIR_SDKS)\Moda\Includes in "Additional Include Directories" of C/C++ project properties and $(MARILOU_INSTALL_DIR_SDKS)\Moda\Libs to the Linker, but i get this errors:

If I delete this line: #include "Modacpp.h", the program compiles. How can I include moda in this type of project?

Hi,

I think the best way for you is to use the Marilou Wizards (File->New->New From Wizard->Application->Moda) for creating the project automatically.

If you don't use wizards:
If you want to use MODACPP (for using MODA C++ interfaces) you have to add to add moda-xxxxx.lib AND xklib-xxxx.lib (as described in the Programming->Marilou Open Devices Access->MODA C++ documentation topic

If you prefer using Marilou.MODA.dll (Managed MODA version for .net framework, windows forms ...) you just have to add a reference to Marilou.Moda.dll (do not include modacpp.h or others xklib includes).

Thank you very much for replying so quickly!
I do use wizards and there is wizard for C# Forms application, for MFC and for console, but there is no wizard for C++ forms application.

I solved the problem. I was including the wrong xklib. You were right, that’s specified in the documentation. I apologize. Next time I’ll search better.

Thanks again!

Hi again! My problem is not solved like I thought it was I didn't see this warning:
warning C4627: '#include "ModaCPP.h"': skipped when looking for precompiled header use

Then when I use:

Code: Select all

ModaCPP::Connection *connection=new ModaCPP::Connection(true);

It gives me an error because it is not including moda. Even thought I have Visual Studio 2008 and the documentation says:

Notes
Marilou.Moda.dll only works with the Visual.net 2005 or Visual Express 2005 compilers.

I tried using Marilou.Moda.dll because you suggested to me, but then I get this error:
error C2039: 'Connection' : is not a member of 'ModaCPP'

Please help me with this problem. How can I include moda in a visual C++ windows forms project? Could you create a wizard for this?

Greetings!

You have to choose if you want to work with
-> Marilou.Moda.dll that is the MODA MANAGED version for using C#, C++ CLI, VB# or J#

-> ModaCPP.lib that is for using in C++ native applications. you cannot use the both libraries into the same project. that's why, because you are working with Windows Forms (managed), i suggest you use Marilou.Moda.dll as a dotnet reference. (do not include ModaCPP.h or others C++ libraries includes, also remove all Modaxxxx.lib and xklibxxx.lib from your project).

<It gives me an error because it is not including moda. Even thought I have Visual Studio 2008 and the documentation says: Marilou.Moda.dll only works with the Visual.net 2005 or Visual Express 2005 compilers>

In fact it works with Visual 2008 too, i have to change this documentation line

<I tried using Marilou.Moda.dll because you suggested to me, but then I get this error:
error C2039: 'Connection' : is not a member of 'ModaCPP' >

If you have this error this is because you are using ModaCPP AND Marilou.Moda.dll -> choose one , but the boths.

Take a look at:

Thank you very much!
You're right about that I was trying to use both. Using MODA MANAGED I was doing this:

ModaCPP::Connection *connection=new ModaCPP::Connection(true);

when in fact I needed to do this:

Moda::Connection ^connection=gcnew Moda::Connection(true);

Thanks again!
