Application::Run Method (Form^)
Begins running a standard application message loop on the current thread, and makes the specified form visible.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| InvalidOperationException | A main message loop is already running on the current thread. |
Typically, the main function of an application calls this method and passes to it the main window of the application.
This method adds an event handler to the mainForm parameter for the Closed event. The event handler calls ExitThread to clean up the application.
The following code example lists numbers in a list box on a form. Each time you click button1, the application adds another number to the list.
The Main method calls Run to start the application, which creates the form, listBox1, and button1. When the user clicks button1, the button1_Click method adds numbers one to three to the list box, and displays a MessageBox. If the user clicks No on the MessageBox, the button1_Click method adds another number to the list. If the user clicks Yes, the application calls Exit to process all remaining messages in the queue and then to quit.
The example requires that listBox1 and button1 have been created and placed on a form.
public: static void main() { // Starts the application. Application::Run( gcnew Form1 ); } private: void button1_Click( Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e ) { // Populates a list box with three numbers. int i = 3; for ( int j = 1; j <= i; j++ ) { listBox1->Items->Add( j ); } /* Determines whether the user wants to exit the application. * If not, adds another number to the list box. */ while ( MessageBox::Show( "Exit application?", "", MessageBoxButtons::YesNo ) == ::DialogResult::No ) { // Increments the counter ands add the number to the list box. i++; listBox1->Items->Add( i ); } // The user wants to exit the application. Close everything down. Application::Exit(); }
