    Alternative Forms

    Post by cvucic »

    Is there any way to currently, or possibility of additions in the future, to use alternative "winformsesque" libraries in Powershell Studio 2012? For example, the winforms libraries created by Telerik or Firemonkey?

    GUI design is new to me, so forgive if this question is "misformatted", or sounds as if it was written by a 7 year old... I usually just do scripting. It would be nice to put a little pizazz into windows otherwise drab presentation. Trying to stay away from Visual Studio.

    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    The designer does not support third party libraries because PowerShell isn't 100% compatible with all controls.

    This doesn't mean you can't call the third party libraries from within your script.
