[IronPython] using XAML in IronPython

[Dino Viehland]

The next release of Ipy Tools (and IronPython 2.7) will greatly simplify this.  You'll be able to call clr.LoadComponent and point at your XAML file and your Window subclass.  It'll then automatically add all of the x:Name (and Name'd) elements onto your Window subclass so you can just do "self.hello.Text" or whatever w/o having to pull the values from the instance using FindName or other methods.

Hello I am learning IronPython having come from a CPython background, I started learning C# to add more to my knowledge base for IronPython.

I have a few questions using XAML:

First if I build something using the xaml designer in IronPython Studio and give it a name x:name="somename" and want to reference it in a function def doSomething(s, e): how do I reference the item with the x:name value do I just type somename = changePropertyofControl? and how do I call the function?

XAML

<Window
       xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
       xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
       Title="Hello World" Height="300" Width="300">
       <Button x:Name="hello">Click Me</Button>
</Window>

Python Code is where I am confused

import clr
clr.AddReference('PresentationFramework')

from System.Windows.Markup import XamlReader
from System.Windows import Application
from System.IO import FileStream, FileMode

app = Application()

def doSomething(sender,event):
    hello.Content = "Try again"


app.Run(XamlReader.Load(FileStream('Hello_World.xaml', FileMode.Open)))

This I am sure is really simple... Coming from a Tk background its confusing for me.

Anyway ty

Cheers

Andrew
