Calculator Application (C++/CLI Windows Forms

Overview

This project is a Windows Form Calculator built using C++/CLI in Visual Studio.

The Calculato allows users to perform basic arithmetic operations through a graphical user interface rather than a console application. The projects was created to strengthen my understanding of:

• Event-driven programming
• Windows Form development
• C++ syntax and logic
• GUI design
• Input Validation

Features

• ➕ Addition
• ➖ Subtraction
• ✖️ Multiplication
• ➗ Division
• 🔢 Decimal number support
• ± Positive/Negative toggle
• 📊 Percentage calculations
• 🧹 Clear (C)
• 🗑️ Clear Entry (CE)
• 💾 Answer (ANS) button framework
• 🖥️ Windows Forms graphical interface

Technologies Used

• C++
• C++/CLI
• Windows Forms
• Microsoft Visual Studio

What I learned Through this project I learned how to:

• Create Windows Forms application
• Connect button using even handlers
• Store and manipulate user input
• Implement calculator logic
• Debug and test GUI applications
• Organize code into multiple files

Future Improvements

• Add memory functions (M+, M-, MR, MC)
• Improve error handling
• Complete ANS recall functionality
• Add keyboard support
• Improve calculator design and styling
