I'm working on a UI for my project and I am using C++.
I have: 2 Windows Forms - Form1.h, Form2.h
1 Header file - Header.h where I have my common includes, functions and global variables that the two need to share.
I tried declaring the global variables as normal static variables and it compiled fine but the two forms aren't really sharing the global.
After research I found ref classes:
public ref class Global {
public: static int Var1;
public: static double Var2;
public: std::string fileName;
public: static cv::Mat frame;
};
This works fine for the int and double variable but refuses to compile and an class is involved (ie. std:: and cv::). Is there anything I can do to allow a non-managed class in a managed one?
I read that we can use pointers to get around it (public std::string * fileName;) but I can't figure out what to do after this.
