C++ Music player help

[ethanbuckley]

OK

So I am learning c++ and I have created my design using the windows forms,
I now have to do the coding,
I have implemented a code which is returning a nice amount of 102 errors,
Any help would be appreciated or rewarded.

I look forward to learning from an experienced user.

Handles panel1::MouseDown XP = MousePosition.X - this->Location.X YP == MousePosition.Y - this->Location.Y;

What are you trying to do with this line? It doesn't make much sense to me.

Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System::Object, ByVal e As System::EventArgs);

This looks a lot like VB.NET to me. The languages can interop on an assembly level, but you can't just intersperse the source like this.

[ethanbuckley]

Well I would like to make it work with c++,

Can anyone help me with a few steps?

I have been given a reference but it makes no sence to me.

[jonsca]

Which reference is it? The hangup here is that you're doing WinForms, which uses a different dialect of C++/CLI. From what I've heard, the best book for learning that is Ivar Horton's (which covers standard C++, C++/CLI WinForms, and MFC). If your reference is teaching Win32, you'll need to change your project type.

Once you decide which of those directions you want to go, someone can point you in the direction of more specific tutorials.

[ethanbuckley]

I will post the reference code and you might be able to tell me the type of c++ im dealing with?

The code below is what I am trying to achieve with out copying (given to my year group at university)

That's C++/CLI see http://www.functionx.com/vccli/index.htm for a good tutorial about it. Learn to use the UI designer and determine how to use it to place the event handlers into your code (for example double clicking on button3 will place a button3_click method into your code, just a skeleton, though). Use VC++ 2008 if you can because it has much better Intellisense for C++/CLI (the one in 2010 is virtually nonexistent for this dialect).
