VS2005 DialogResult

[rk]

According to the docs, I would expect to check the result of an
OpenFileDialog in a VS 2005 CLR Windows Forms application this way:

if (openFileDialog 1->ShowDialog() ==
DialogResult::O K)

However, this does not work, and I have to use:

if (openFileDialog 1->ShowDialog() ==
System::Windows ::Forms::Dialog Result::OK)

Did I miss anything, or is this a bug?

Thanks
Richard

Regarding the scope of identifiers, C++/CLI is very picky. You are probably
facing a problem related to this. Check if you have defined something (e. g.
a member of your class) "DialogResu lt". This can easily cause such a
problem.

Here is another example:

#using "System.Drawing .dll"
using namespace System::Drawing ;
ref struct X
{
property Size Size
{
// the line below fails even though the namespace System::Drawing is
opened
Size get() // type name Size conficts with property name Size
{
return Size();
}
// workaround
// System::Drawing ::Size get() // type name Size conficts with property
name Size
// {
// return System::Drawing ::Size();
// }
}
};

This code is untested. Please test it

Hi Jochen,

I had added

using namespace System::Windows ::Forms;

but this did not prevent the problem. I know, that

if (openFileDialog 1->ShowDialog() ==
System::Windows ::Forms::Dialog Result::OK)

and

using namespace System::Windows ::Forms;
if (openFileDialog 1->ShowDialog()== DialogResult::O K)

should be equivalent. So I would expect it to be a bug if they are not.

Or not?

The short-version only works, if you have added

using System::Windows ::Forms;

at the top (or at least before you use the above code).
Or did I miss something in your post?

Have you a pointer to the docu???
Because the same code works perfectly in VS2003...

By the way: The member "DialgResul t" is defined in
"System::Window s::Forms::Form" ... so the problem occurs in *every*
Form-derived class.
