Stacking Up with WPF

Let's continue looking at how to create simple Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) tools in PowerShell. This is a handy way to give users a graphical interface to run your scripts. WPF can be daunting as it is a complicated .NET developer topic. However, I have found that I can get by with a simple WPF form in many cases. It may not be the fanciest looking, but it is relatively easy to code. I want to show you how to create a stacked panel WPF form.

As I mentioned last time, WPF is based on the idea of layers. You need a base window to begin with.

$window = [System.Windows.Window]@{
    Title                 = 'WPF Window Demo'
    Height                = 350
    Width                 = 500
    WindowStartupLocation = 'CenterScreen'
}

Don't forget you need to load the required assemblies first.
