❔ Linking C# and C++
This may be a region issue but I couldn't find an exact answer, I have a simple GUI for an application in Winforms C#, and I want to make it functional using C++ or C not C# itself, is there any SIMPLE way to make buttons and text boxes etc functional using C++ or C#?

There's no simple way, no
p/invoke comes to mind, or maybe DLLImport
Thank you. For a Macro would it be more efficient to learn C# or just try to use C++? because I need a language that can execute many things in milliseconds
I'd say try C#, see if it fits your performance requirements, if not try fiddling with P/Invoke'ing C++ code
thank you so much
what are you asking exactly

I'm trying to make a simple macro application
It would have:
-Keybind selector, Intervals between clicks and total amount of clicks before it stops clicking
a mouse click macro*
I'm more comfortable with C and C++ but making GUIs in them is too hard for my current level, so i thought of using C#
Only code that needs to be executed in C:
Simulating mouse clicks
Using keybinds to start/stop

Not really you're right
but I'm using it on a singleplayer world in Minecraft
It's an SMP but I own the server so it's okay

I think I'll try that if I hit a roadblock for now, because the channel specified low-level and macros are generally not very low level

Have you tried CLR? (Common Language Runtime)
tebeco#0205
unsure if that still works in .net core
I would also ask if C++.Net is still a thing
because you could then have both unmanaged and managed code together

id rather do ipc than c++/cli
Yea, but it depends on OP, if he didn’t know about cli he should atleast give it a try
