I’ve an app written C & C++. Now, I need to provide a GUI for this app. MFC is the best option for me. But I’m not familiar with MFC.
So can I use .NET to build GUI for this? If so, How? Please be clear.
If I can use .NET I guess I can use WPF too right?
You can technically write a GUI in C++/CLI, but I would highly discourage it. C++/CLI is good for writing .NET wrappers around native C++ and exposing it to other .NET languages, but not much else.
In your case, if you’re really set on using WinForms/WPF, then I would suggest using C++/CLI to create a wrapper around your C++ code and then building the actual GUI in C#.
Otherwise, a C++ library like Qt or wxWidgets would also suffice for doing a “native” C++ GUI.
Here’s a quick introduction to C++/CLI. This is a quick-start guide for getting started with C++/CLI. Once you build a C++/CLI DLL, you can just add it as a reference to your C# project and It Just Works(tm).
