[IronPython] Making A Windows Form App

[Martin Maly]

Hi Freddie,

Below is the working code. I would be interested to hear what you had
most problems with. Common difficulty is the LoadAssemblyByName
function. Feel free to post feedback to this discussion alias. We are
interested to hear what roadblocks developers encounter as they try to
use IronPython.

import sys
sys.LoadAssemblyByName("System.Drawing")
sys.LoadAssemblyByName("System.Windows.Forms")

import System
from System.Drawing import Point
from System.Windows.Forms import Form, Button, Application

def on_click(*args):
    Application.Exit()

frm = Form(Text = "Hello World")
btn = Button(Text = "Goodbye", Location = Point(50,50))

btn.Click += on_click
frm.Controls.Add(btn)

Application.Run(frm)
