Question

For some reason, I can’t seem to find a way to do this: changing the start up form for C++ Windows Application under Visual Studio Professional 2010. As many websites have suggested that go into Project\properties\Application\startup from etc. My problem was that I could not find the “Application” or Startup Form anywhere under Project\Properties.

What did I miss?

Thank you.

You are using the C++ IDE, it doesn’t have these kind of goodies. You are supposed to change the code yourself. Double-click the .cpp file that has the same name as your project in the Solution Explorer window. Locate the main() function and change the Application.Run() call:

// Create the main window and run it
Application::Run(gcnew Form1());    // Change "Form1" here
