winforms userControl inside MFC with no Clr-CodePudding

I have an MFC application that uses some specific files with CLR but not the whole project.

The challenge is I want to embed a WinForms user control inside the MFC project without the whole project compiled with CLR.

As mentioned before, in one of the existing managed files I created a method that does the exchange with the ctrl like so:

#include <afxwin.h> 
#include <afxwinforms.h>
#include "Managedfile.h"
    
void CWinformsUtil::CreateFullListeUc(CDataExchange* pDX, int Idc)
{
    CWinFormsControl<MainuserControlLib::UserControl2> m_ctrl1;
    DDX_ManagedControl(pDX, Idc, m_ctrl1);
}

And I am calling this method inside the DoDataExchange method in the MFC app source:

void CMFCApplication1Dlg::DoDataExchange(CDataExchange* pDX)
{
    CDialogEx::DoDataExchange(pDX);
    CWinformsUtil::CreateFullListeUc(pDX, IDC_STATIC1);
}

But the problem with this approach is that it does not display the WinForms user control.

CodePudding user response：

In order to acheive this what i've did was to compile the view.cpp file in wich i want to display the user control in clr,then included <afxwinforms.h> in it .Also in the header file i need to import that library but it should only be visile to managed code by simply making a condition :

    //view.h
    #ifdef _MANAGED
        #include <afxwinforms.h>
    #endif

and for declaring the control in the header file we need also the same approach:

   //view.h
   #ifdef _MANAGED
        CWinFormsControl<MainuserControlLib::UserControl2> m_ctrl1;
    #endif
