The next release of Ipy Tools (and IronPython 2.7) will greatly simplify this. You'll be able to call clr.LoadComponent and point at your XAML file and your Window subclass. It'll then automatically add all of the x:Name (and Name'd) elements onto your Window subclass so you can just do "self.hello.Text" or whatever w/o having to pull the values from the instance using FindName or other methods.

I have a few questions using XAML: First if I build something using the xaml designer in IronPython Studio and give it a name x:name="somename" and want to reference it in a function def doSomething(s, e): how do I reference the item with the x:name value do I just type somename = changePropertyofControl? and how do I call the function? XAML <Window xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"; xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"; Title="Hello World" Height="300" Width="300"> <Button x:Name="hello">Click Me</Button> </Window> Python Code is where I am confused import clr clr.AddReference('PresentationFramework') from System.Windows.Markup import XamlReader from System.Windows import Application from System.IO import FileStream, FileMode app = Application() def doSomething(sender,event): hello.Content = "Try again" app.Run(XamlReader.Load(FileStream('Hello_World.xaml', FileMode.Open))) This I am sure is really simple... Coming from a Tk background its confusing for me. Anyway ty Cheers Andrew
