I can not access control of window form from another class in c++

i have some forms and one class(queue) in my project and i want to take the information of window form(Add.h) from class(queue) but when I include form(Add.h) in class(queue) and create object of form then it show that identifier "Add" is undefined.

Add.h

Code:

---

#pragma once
#include <iostream>
#include "queue.h"
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;

---

Add.cpp

Code:

---

#include "Add.h"

---

queue.h

Code:

---

#pragma once
#include <iostream>
#include "Add.h"
#include "MMenu.h"

using namespace std;

class NodeType {
public:
  Add info; //error identifier Add is undefiened
  NodeType *link;
};

class queue
{
public:
  queue();
  void enqueue(Add std); //error identifier Add is undefiened
  void display();
  ~queue();
};

queue::queue() {}

queue::~queue() {}

void queue::display() {}

void queue::enqueue(Add std) {} //error identifier Add is undefiened

---

queue.cpp

Code:

---

#include "queue.h"

---

i just started the code and want to get the link between queue class and add form but its show me error "identifier Add is undefined" and if i created another form and include in queue class then also show me error. it seems like when link between class to class is working but class to form is not working.

Well, your Add.h does not contain any declaration of class (nor struct) Add... :confused:

here is full code of Add.h

Code:

#pragma once
#include <iostream>
#include "queue.h"
using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using std::endl;

This is the managed code.
But what you showed in your post#3 looks like the native C++ one!
Why do you want to mix them? :confused:

sorry sir. My code may confuse you. but i am just trying to get the textbox value of Add.h form and use it in queue.cpp class, but it shows me error like identifier Add is undefined. i just want to know how can i get the object of Add.h class and can use its methods and function in queue.cpp class.
i also try forward declaration but still it is showing that "incomplete type is not allowed.
i have try many way but still can't get any solution.
thanks for replying me

but add is c++/cli and queue is c++. c++/cli is not the same as c++. As this seems to be a c+/cli issue, I've moved this thread to the c++/cli forum.

Ignoring the native C++ vs. C++/CLI issue for now, as well as some other problems with your code I anticipate to arise in the near future, for the sake of simplicity...

Because it is defined in the namespace Assignment, your class Add is not in scope in queue.h, that's why you get these errors. Add a using namespace Assignment; directive to your code before you use Add, or qualify it by writing Assignment::Add rather than just Add instead.

Also, as Add is a ref class, you need to declare a parameter to pass an instance of it as a tracking handle by writing Add ^std (or Assignment::Add ^std) instead of Add std.
