Creating a Windows Forms Control (C++) -

Trying to run on MSDN

In the step 1 of the part " a custom To add an asset to a control "We place the ClickAnywhere code in the public section of class.

The first error: " error C2144: syntax error: must be before 'bool' ';' "

Is this syntax correct in C ++? (See below)
(delete the ClickAnywhere part of the code, it is compiled properly ...)

  #pragma once using the namespace system; Namespace system :: using the component model; Using the namespace system: archive; Using Namespace System :: Window :: Form; Namespace system :: Using data; Namespace System :: Using Drawing; Namespace ClickContent {/// & lt; Summary & gt; ClickcounterControl /// & lt; / Summary & gt; For /// Summary ///// Warning: If you change the name of this class, you will need to change the /// 'Resource File Name' property for the managed resource compiler tool /// All .resx This class depends on the files associated with it but it depends on the class.

Since you are using Visual Studio .NET 2003, you have managed C Using a ++, there is an important difference between the C ++ / CLI syntax for a property, you must use the keyword __ property , not the C ++ / CLI Property keyword and its new style

So it should be:

  __ property bool get_Click Anywhere () {return (label 1-> dock == docstyle :: fill); } __property set set_lick Anywhere (bool value) {if (value) label 1-> Dock = Docestyle :: Fill; Else label 1-> Doc = Doctoral :: None; }  

It seems that still using TripCraft following a guide written for C ++ / CLI (Visual Studio 2005 and above) using Visual Studio 2003 going.
