Referencing a Form(.NET)?

[Lynn Morrison]

Hi, I created a Form and need a pointer to it so that I can reuse it again
and again instead of recreating it all the time.. something like this...

Form1.h

// .... snipped for brevity

#include "Form2.h"

// class def ... snip

Form2 *Preferences;

Preferences = new Form2();
Preferences->Parent = this;
Preferences->Show();
// ERROR

There is indeed a Form2 and it is found, no errors in the including of it.
Form2 is a .NET created form using the wizard. Nothing is done to it yet, no
controls etc... but I cannot reference Form2* Preferences nor create a Form2
with that pointer.

I get an unrecognized error... not sure what this is...

This should be programming 101, but for some strange reason.

Can you type or paste the error ?
