### Winformal is a small PowerShell module that allows you to write Winforms UI in script. This is a very simple UI written in Winformal:
New-Form -controls { New-Button -Text "Click Me" -On_Click { $this.Parent.Close() } -Left 50 -Top 50 -Width 200 -Height 200 } -Show #### Winformal works off of the same engine as WPK, the predecessor to ShowUI. These are both vastly superior ways to script a UI, because they are built using WPF instead of WinForms. #### WinFormal was built after a small challenge, and is a proof of concept of using the WPK engine to process different types of data. Because WinForms can do a lot less than WPF, Winformal is a lot simpler and smaller than it's cousin. Hence the name. #### If you find yourself writing Winforms in PowerShell, the least you can do is use Winformal to make life less painful. |
