There is no WinForm designer support in Python tools - we just have a simple template for creating a WinForms app but you'll have to write all of the UI code by hand. This is because the WinForms designer is actually very heavily built around round-tripping statically typed code to generate the UI. We did do this w/ IronPython 1.x in IronPythonStudio and someone could port this forward to IpyTools if they really wanted to - but it was very ugly and involved lots of decorators and other gunk to keep VS happy. I just tried the WPF support in the integrated shell and that does work - here's the screen shot to prove it: http://i.imgur.com/AWE62.png WPF is awesome in contrast to WinForms because everything's in the XAML and therefore we just need to add a little bit of integration to make the XAML load nicely in Python. There was the bug in Beta 1 of PTVS where the toolbox was broken in the WPF designer but this should just work with Beta 2 or if the original IpyTools. But either way VS Pro won't buy you much in terms of UI designer support. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
