Visual C++ Windows Form prevent object from being deleted - winforms

I'm beginner to Visual C++ Windows Forms and i have kind of huge problem (I can't find solution for a few days...)
Basically i have basic program form Online Templates. I added a few text boxes, labels, button and a class. Class is a BattleCard and it's supossed to "fight" using it's Defend() function and using text box Text as their stats. The problem appears when i try to make this like turn based, so you need to click Start button every round... Everything is fine except the fact, that once i clicked button and all calculations are finished... Object and all stats are deleted. That means object will start with start HP etc. instead of one it just calculated. Do you have any ideas how to work around it or just make these objects "undeletable"?
BattleCard.h
#pragma once
ref class BattleCard
{
public:
int Attack;
int Defense;
int HP;
bool Exist = false;
void Defend(int Attack, int Defense);
BattleCard(int A, int D, int H);
};
BattleCard.cpp
#include "BattleCard.h"
BattleCard::BattleCard(int A, int D, int H)
{
if (Exist == false) { Attack = A; Defense = D; HP = H; Exist = true; }
}
void BattleCard::Defend(int Attack, int Defense)
{
this->HP = (double)this->HP - (double)Attack*((double)1 - ((double)Defense / ((double)Defense + (double)50)));
}

How to prevent them from being deleted? Do i need to put them in MyForm.cpp or something?

How to set constraints in WinForm?

I created UserControl and put there a two GroupBox one at the top and one at the bottom... there is a screenshot
And then when I put this UserControl with my a views within to TabController I got such a result
So, as you see in the main form it looks like it is not enough space for all views within UserControl
Question is - is there a way to set that GroupBox at the top will take 50% of the height and GroupBox at the bottom will take also 50% of the height, such way this two GroupBox view will take 100% of the height each for 50%...
alternatively use TableLayoutPanel with two rows (each row gets 50% height)
private void InitializeComponent()
{
this.tableLayoutPanel1 = new System.Windows.Forms.TableLayoutPanel();

C++/CLI Enabling textbox on form 1 when clicking button on form 2

I'm currently working on a visual c++ program where I have multiple textboxes on my first form, all of which require a number. What these are doing is asking for a number to be entered (amount of specific expense). For some of my expenses they involve multiple smaller expenses to calculate the expense. To accomplish that I have the corresponding textbox disabled at first, and have a button next to each disabled textbox. When the user clicks the button next to each textbox it brings up a separate form (while still keeping the main form open) that prompts the user to enter all of the smaller expenses that are totaled on a button click on that form. Then once they click the button to total the expenses on the form a return button appears that when clicked closes the form and leaves only the main expense form open. My predicament is I need to send back the total calculated value for the specific expense, place it in the corresponding textbox on the main expense form, as well as enabled that textbox. I believe I have the method down for returning the value to the main expense form, then assigning it to the textbox, but I'm not quite sure how to enable the textbox once the user clicks the button to return to the main expense form on the smaller pop-up expense form. Any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Side note of curiosity: Would I even need to enable the textbox on the main expense form in order to place the returned value into it, then use the value in a calculation that involves all the expenses on the main expense form?

I found this post and it's exactly what I need to do, but I just don't know where to put the code.
What is usually done (see types like FileDialog) is to put some public properties in the modal form class (here, MiscExpensesCalculateForm) and simply set them before calling ShowDialog and read them afterwards).
private: System::Void button5_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e) {
MiscExpensesCalculateForm^ mecf = gcnew MiscExpensesCalculateForm();
mecf->SomeInputData = blahblah;
DialogResult dr = mecf->ShowDialog();
if(dr == DialogResult.OK) {
textBoxResult->Text = mecf->MyResultData;
textBoxResult->Enabled = true;
}
}

Cannot have 2 abstract-derived textboxes on the same WinForm?

OK, this is a weird problem. I have an abstract control that derives from TextBox called Writer, and two classes that derive from it, StdWriter and LngWriter. The difference between them is one is always multiline and the other is not. That's seriously the only difference between the two.
In the OnHandleCreated function, I set the margins with the Win32 SendMessage function. I do it again in OnPaint because WinForms will "forget" to set the margins if I have more than 1 StdWriter (or any derived textbox type) on the same form (this makes no sense either but at least I have a workaround for it).
Now I have the problem that I can't have both of these textboxes on the same form. If I put a StdWriter and a multiline TextBox or a LngWriter and a standard TextBox on the form, it works. If I put 2 MS textboxes on the form, it also works. but let me put a LngWriter and StdWriter together and the LngWriter won't draw its scrollbar right (the vertical is wrong and it just won't draw the horizontal, period) or accept the Enterkey, despite both MultiLine and AcceptsReturn returning true. I can't even paste newlines in because it totally strips them out.
I don't understand this because TextBox derives from the abstract TextBoxBase and I don't have any problems with dozens of different derived textboxes all over my forms. Is it because I'm inserting a second abstract class in the inheritance chain and Visual Studio doesn't like it or what?

WPF 3D POINT DRAWING

I need to draw a point in 3D using WPF. I am using class ScreenSpaceLines3D to draw a line in 3D, but I'm not able to draw point in 3D (while model zooming). Can anybody help me? Some example code would be appreciated. Thanks
Use PointsVisual3D class from helixtoolkit, with it you can add points on viewport with color, size. Even you can apply transforms, too.
A point can't be seen, because it has no surface area. WPF 3d is not a ray tracing engine, unfortunately.
However, someone built a pretty nice ray-tracing starter library. This project is a good starting point if you want to do ray-tracing with WPF: http://raytracer.codeplex.com/.
It is not so complicated task.
Download the Helix3D Library
Find the sphere mesh code in samples
Attach the scphere's radius to zooming realization.
i can create a PointVisual3d Own Class. The code of PointVisual3D is below i think this one is helpful for you...
