new windows::form

[dex_tritus]

Hi,

I am currently developing an application which deals with image processing (in visual c++ 2008 express). In the main form, images are displayed : before one algorithm is applied, and after the algorithm is applied. (before/ after process).

What I want is :
- another form to be displayed, near the main one, in which the histogram of the image is displayed;

So my question is : how to create a new form which can be visible all the time, near the main form.
Note : i do not need to click inside or do other operations, it should just be there, visible.

Sorry for my bad english. I am looking forward to receiving your response. (some pieces of code would be really helpful).

Add new Windows Form to the project (Project - Add New Item - UI - Windows Form). Let's say you call it HistogramForm. Add this line to the main form h-file:

#include "HistogramForm.h"

Add class member to main form class:

HistogramForm^ m_histForm;

In the place where you want to show this form, write:

m_histForm = gcnew HistogramForm();
m_histForm->Show(this);

If you have more questions about Windows Forms, post them in C++/CLI forum.

thank you a lot

in my old piece of code i wrote :

Histogram_window^ hw = gcnew Histogram_window();
hw->Show ();

so, thank you for telling me that it was

hw->Show(this);

the right code.

It works
Thanks a lot
