### Winformal is a small PowerShell module that allows you to write Winforms UI in script.  This is a very simple UI written in Winformal:

    New-Form -controls {    

        New-Button -Text "Click Me" -On_Click {

            $this.Parent.Close()

        } -Left 50 -Top 50 -Width 200 -Height 200 

    } -Show

#### Winformal works off of the same engine as WPK, the predecessor to ShowUI.  These are both vastly superior ways to script a UI, because they are built using WPF instead of WinForms.   

#### WinFormal was built after a small challenge, and is a proof of concept of using the WPK engine to process different types of data.  Because WinForms can do a lot less than WPF, Winformal is a lot simpler and smaller than it's cousin.  Hence the name.  

#### If you find yourself writing Winforms in PowerShell, the least you can do is use Winformal to make life less painful.
