[IronPython] IronPython and WPF .. too cool

[Greg Kerr]

Don't know if anyone wants to see it, or if everyone's way past it, but here 
is a simple WPF app in IronPython:

import sys
sys.LoadAssemblyByName( "WindowsBase")
sys.LoadAssemblyByName( "PresentationCore")
sys.LoadAssemblyByName( "PresentationFramework")
sys.LoadAssemblyByName( "UIAutomationProvider")
sys.LoadAssemblyByName( "UIAutomationTypes")

from System import *
from System.Windows import *
from System.Windows.Controls import *
from System.Windows.Media import *
from System.Windows.Media.Animation import *

class MyApp (Application):

    def __init__( self):

        pass

    def OnStartup( self, evt):

        mainWindow              = Window();
        rootPanel               = StackPanel();
        rootPanel.Background    = SolidColorBrush( Colors.Green);

        txtElement              = TextBlock()
        txtElement.Margin       = Thickness( 10)
        txtElement.Text         = "A TextBlock"
        txtElement.FontSize     = 24
        txtElement.Foreground   = SolidColorBrush( Colors.White)

        mainWindow.Content      = rootPanel
        mainWindow.Title        = "WPF Window from IronPython"

        rootPanel.Children.Add( txtElement)

        opacityAnim = DoubleAnimation( 0.0, 
Duration(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1000)))
        opacityAnim.AutoReverse = True
        opacityAnim.RepeatBehavior = RepeatBehavior.Forever
        txtElement.BeginAnimation(Control.OpacityProperty, opacityAnim)

        mainWindow.Show()

app = MyApp()
app.Run()
