Hi, rosserial windows works on visual studio win32 console mode but does not work on windows forms mode. Here is what I have done:

I am porting win32 Console rosserial_hello_world from http://wiki.ros.org/rosserial_windows... to windows forms in visual studio. It built successfully but when I run the app but the ROS master on Ubuntu did not receive any data. It works on Win32 console mode. Please help. Thanks.

The code for windows forms:

#pragma once

#include <string> #include <stdio.h> #include "ros.h" #include <geometry_msgs twist.h=""> #include <windows.h>

ros::NodeHandle nh; char *ros_master = "192.168.186.132"; geometry_msgs::Twist twist_msg; ros::Publisher cmd_vel_pub ("cmd_vel", &twist_msg); using std::string;

namespace rosserial_hello_world_forms {

using namespace System;
using namespace System::ComponentModel;
using namespace System::Collections;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;
using namespace System::Data;
using namespace System::Drawing;

FYI, I have already solved the problem. I need to call at least nh.SpinOnce() one time in the initialization thread before enable the timer.
