I can't tell where I should post this question. I'm trying to take a filename opened with a buttonclick and pass that filename back to the main .cpp file using visual studio 2008. Here's snippets of code to help you understand what I mean. First I'll show where I declare the item as a public variable.
public ref class Form1 : public System::Windows::Forms::Form
{
public:
System::String^ filename;
Form1(void)
Then here's the buttonclick event.
private: System::Void button1_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) {
openFileDialog1->ShowDialog();
if (openFileDialog1->ShowDialog() == System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult::OK)
openFileDialog1->OpenFile();
filename = (openFileDialog1->FileName);
pictureBox1->Image = Bitmap::FromFile(openFileDialog1->FileName);
Finally what I need to do in the main CPP file is to get the filename in order to read from that file to a memory object.
BMP pic;
pic.ReadFromFile(need filename from form1.h here);
Please let me know where to post this or the answer of how to do it if you know :)
