[IronPython] Creating GUI Controls with IronPython

[Dino Viehland]

I talked to one of the VS SDK guys and they haven't tested / used this scenario so it's likely you'll run into some issues with it.  What does work is consuming a user control that's been written in C# but unfortunately not in IronPython.

If you're feeling adventurous you could try creating a form and then just tweaking the Python code so that it inherits from UserControl instead of Form and see how far you get but I'd be a little amazed if it just worked :(.

I may be misunderstanding your response, or I misstated my question.  What I'd like to do is create a new User Control using the IronPython plugin for VS 2005.  When I create a new project or add a new Item to my project, I cannot see User Control as an option, only a Form.  Is there a way around this so that I can select a User Control to be created insetad of a Form?

IIRC, there should be a drop-in control for "User Control", or the
