Every now and then, a Mac user is going to say, 'Man I wish there was a version of (insert program here) for Mac. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.' It's happened to me more times that I really wish to count. Thankfully, most of the apps I want to run on my Mac exist as native apps.

The challenge here is that native System.Windows.Forms does not exist on Mac. Once again, mono framework to the rescue in the form of MWF. This is unsupported and no maintained any more, however there is a simple getting started guide (here). Sep 05, 2018 It doesn't exist on the Mac side and I really need it for my day job as a software quality vice president. Thankfully, there's more than one way to run Windows apps on your Mac. You can use Apple's Boot Camp and run a full installation of Window natively on your Mac. Use a virtual machine like Parallels Desktop.

However, there are a couple that slip through my fingers, like Microsoft's Visio Professional. It doesn't exist on the Mac side and I really need it for my day job as a software quality vice president.

Thankfully, there's more than one way to run Windows apps on your Mac.

Install Windows apps directly with CrossOver and use a Windows app like any other native Mac App

There are advantages and disadvantages to each, but that last one – installing Windows apps directly under CrossOver – is a bit different, and it offers some distinct advantages if you know how to get things going.

With CrossOver, you don't install Windows and then the app. It's all about the app, and only the app. Thankfully, while CrossOver is different, it's not difficult to use. However, there are a few things you need to know. For example, CrossOver doesn't run ALL Windows apps. Some run better than others, and some won't run at all.

What's the best way to install Windows apps?

When trying to determine the best way to install a Windows app, consider the advantages and disadvantages of the three different ways to run Windows on a Mac — natively, via VM or via CrossOver:

Feature	Dual Booting	Virtual Machine	CrossOver
Run without Rebooting	No	Yes	Yes
Run without Windows OS License	No	No	Yes
Runs ALL Windows Apps	Yes	No. Not all graphic-intensive features are supported	No. Some run. Some run OK. Some won't run at all
Runs Apps at Native Speed	Yes	No	Yes
Needed to Run an App	Windows License, App License	VM License, Windows License, App License	CrossOver License, App License
Approximate Costs (App not included)	$120 - $200 for Windows 10	$80 for Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion, $120 - $200 for Windows 10	$40 - $60 for CrossOver

How to install Windows apps on your Mac using CrossOver

If you want to install Windows apps on your Mac without all the overhead associated with Windows, follow these steps.

Navigate to CodeWeavers and download CrossOver.
Go to your Downloads folder and locate the Zip file you downloaded. Double Click it to open it. Archive Utility will Open it up and decompress the contents of the archive.
Double click the CrossOver.app in your Downloads folder. It will offer to move itself to your Applications folder.
CrossOver will start for the first time. When it does, it's going to ask you how you want it to run. By default, it runs in trial mode. However, you also enter in your registration information or buy a license right from this page.
From the screen that appears, click the Install a Windows Application button.
Type the name of the application you want to run. CrossOver will search its database and display appropriate matches.
Click on the application you want to run. CrossOver will display compatibility information on it from its database, telling you how likely and how well it will run.
Click the Continue button.
Select an installer source.
Click the Choose Installer File. A Finder window will slide down over the app and allow you to navigate to where you have the installation file stored.
Select the app.
Click the Use this installer button. You'll return to the Select an Installer Source screen.
Click the Continue button. Remember: CrossOver will not find and download the software you want to run for you. You actually have to have the installation file for the software you want to run.
Select a bottle.

What are bottles?

CrossOver is powered by the Wine Project. As such, all Windows apps are installed in 'containers' called bottles (get it?). When you install an application for the first time, CrossOver will create a bottle and automatically place your application in it. When you install new applications, CrossOver will also give you hints about which apps can work and play well in the same bottle. If your apps can be installed in the same bottle, putting them together will save some space. If they can't, CrossOver will tell you and suggest creating a new bottle. It will also suggest a name for it. Keep the suggestion or give the bottle a name of your own choice.

Click the Continue button.
You'll be taken to the Ready to Install screen. CrossOver will give you a summary of what it's installing, where it will install it from, and the name of the bottle where it will install it. CrossOver will also install any needed support software (such as .NET Framework, or the link).
Click the Install button.
The software will install. CrossOver displays a progress screen where it will run through not only the creation of the bottle, but it will download any needed support software, and then run the installer you chose. Once the installation process completes, you should be ready to run your software.
Click Done. The Installation process will close.
Click the CrossOver icon in the Dock. CrossOver's Collections screen will appear, listing all the bottles you have installed on your Mac.
Find the bottle you just created and run your software.

Running Windows and Windows apps on a Mac can be challenging. Finding the right method for you and your needs can be equally as challenging; however, if you think about it, there are a number of ways to run Windows on a Mac.

Some are expensive. Some aren't.

Some take time and are complicated. Others aren't.

Install Mac Apps On Windows

CrossOver isn't just easy to use, it's affordable. For less than 1/4 the price of Windows plus the price of the application you need to run, you can run it on your Mac. For the odd app out, this is a total no-brainer; and it's fairly easy to do. If you want to make sure your app works with CrossOver before you give it a shot, you can always search for it on their website.

When you create a picture viewer, the first step is to create a Windows Forms App project.

Open Visual Studio 2017

On the menu bar, choose File > New > Project. The dialog box should look similar to the following screenshot.
Samsung. The app does not sync anymore. I recently added the newer app Samsung Notes which by the way opens the Notes from S Note very imperfectly on the phone. Need to work on the downward compatibility a lil bit more. So I can only give it 2 stars now as the sync is very much needed feature for this app to.

New projectdialog box
On the left side of the New Project dialog box, choose either Visual C# or Visual Basic, and then choose Windows Desktop.
In the project templates list, choose Windows Forms App (.NET Framework). Name the new form PictureViewer, and then choose the OK button.
Note
If you don't see the Windows Forms App (.NET Framework) template, use the Visual Studio Installer to install the .NET desktop development workload.
For more information, see the Install Visual Studio page.

Open Visual Studio 2019

On the start window, choose Create a new project.
On the Create a new project window, enter or type Windows Forms in the search box. Next, choose Desktop from the Project type list.
After you apply the Project type filter, choose the Windows Forms App (.NET Framework) template for either C# or Visual Basic, and then choose Next.
Note
If you don't see the Windows Forms App (.NET Framework) template, you can install it from the Create a new project window. In the Not finding what you're looking for? message, choose the Install more tools and features link.
Next, in the Visual Studio Installer, choose the Choose the .NET desktop development workload.
After that, choose the Modify button in the Visual Studio Installer. You might be prompted to save your work; if so, do so. Next, choose Continue to install the workload.
In the Configure your new project window, type or enter PictureViewer in the Project name box. Then, choose Create.

Visual Studio creates a solution for your app. A solution acts as a container for all of the projects and files needed by your app. These terms will be explained in more detail later in this tutorial.

About the Windows Forms App project

The development environment contains three windows: a main window, Solution Explorer, and the Properties window.
If any of these windows are missing, you can restore the default window layout. On the menu bar, choose Window > Reset Window Layout.
You can also display windows by using menu commands. On the menu bar, choose View > Properties Window or Solution Explorer.
If any other windows are open, close them by choosing the Close (x) button in their upper-right corners.
/Library/Application Support/. /Library/Caches/Besides, there may be some kernel extensions or hidden files that are not obvious to find. Xcode mac app get rid of title bars. /Library/Preferences/.
- Main window In this window, you'll do most of your work, such as working with forms and editing code. The window shows a form in the Form Editor. At the top of the window, the Start Page tab and the Form1.cs [Design] tab appear. (In Visual Basic, the tab name ends with .vb instead of .cs.)
- Main window In this window, you'll do most of your work, such as working with forms and editing code. The window shows a form in the Form Editor.
- Solution Explorer window In this window, you can view and navigate to all items in your solution.
If you choose a file, the contents of the Properties window changes. If you open a code file (which ends in .cs in C# and .vb in Visual Basic), the code file or a designer for the code file appears. A designer is a visual surface onto which you can add controls such as buttons and lists. For Visual Studio forms, the designer is called the Windows Forms Designer.
- Properties window In this window, you can change the properties of items that you choose in the other windows. For example, if you choose Form1, you can change its title by setting the Text property, and you can change the background color by setting the Backcolor property.
  Note
  The top line in Solution Explorer shows Solution 'PictureViewer' (1 project), which means that Visual Studio created a solution for you. A solution can contain more than one project, but for now, you'll work with solutions that contain only one project.
On the menu bar, choose File > Save All.
As an alternative, choose the Save All button on the toolbar, which the following image shows.

Save Alltoolbar button
Visual Studio automatically fills in the folder name and the project name and then saves the project in your projects folder.
