I want to take my simple encryption program and create a GUI using windows form. I have the basic layout for the form, however I am not sure how to link the "submit" buttons to the text boxes, and then how to get output into a seperate text box.
Basically I am not sure how to use code in windows forms, except for simple things like message boxes, and changing colors.

I have looked up some things, however the tutorials are things like making message boxes show up.

Perhaps someone could point me in the right direction of a tutorial? or a few examples to get me started? Thank you!


Here is my Encrypt Program.

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<vector>
using namespace std;

			red[position] = 'R';

		else if ( red[position] == 'B' || red[position] == 'b' )

			red[position] = 'S';

		else if ( red[position] == 'C' || red[position] == 'c' )

What compiler are you using?

You need to define an id for the text boxes & buttons, & then add their id to the message loop.

Also, how are you able to have a windows program with main() & not WinMain() ?

Sorry, I'm using windows virtual studio 2010, and that is just a console application
