Hello Sapien team!
My team has been using/loving PowerShell Studio for our scripts/applications. Recently, in order to accommodate accessibility requests, we've been looking at moving towards using WPF instead of Windows Forms. Unfortunately at the present time, the timeliest manner in which we can mock something up is using Visual Studio's WPF window designer and then manually doing the rest (editing controls and adding events).
Not only is WPF more accommodating but the visual aspect is appealing to more modern designs. I'm not sure how much interest there is from the rest of the community but from these two posts (16059 and 15292) it seems others would also benefit from a feature to create a WPF form with event handlers and a custom script to package up similarly to how it is with Windows Form designer and script.
I'm not sure what would be involved with adding this but I have tried using the export to WPF and when I ran the raw FileName.Export.ps1 the controls were all wonky and would probably require manual adjustments to the xaml code to get it to how I wanted it but that would almost be as much work as writing it from scratch.
To give an idea of what we would be hoping for: an GUI editor for WPF (like Visual Studio) that generates accessible XAML code.
Please let me know your thoughts and if this is possible/on its way already.
Thanks!
