WinUIShell v0.4.0 is now a self-contained release which means you don't need to install any other dependencies.

Install-PSResource WinUIShell. You are ready to create a WinUI 3 window from PowerShell.

Here's some tips to think about when you're thinking about creating new #PowerShell modules.

I'm really curious to see if there are specific topics you would want me to dive deeper into!

v0.6.0 has been released! I've also added the Event Callback section to README.

GUI and threading have been a very common issue in PowerShell. I hope this release makes it easy and approachable.
In the next release of WinUIShell, I'm sorting out multi-threaded event callbacks. This example shows three concurrent progress bars with a pause button for each:

I hope the code feels much easier than WPF in PowerShell🙏

Watched this twice, learned many things🙂
"List → Fuzzy Search → Run" is a super powerful interface for terminal users.

This post has the least view count in my blog, but the content is not the worst IMO😅. "Using PowerShellRun as an Interactive Selector":

Very informative for me. Also, I love the 7 minute format. It's focused, quick and great when watching as a YouTube video👍

Oh right, PowerShell source generator should also work. I want to try incremental generator myself for learning first though it looks like it's hard to find good examples. Thanks!
Supporting all UI elements will take a lot of time as I need to learn the source generator but let me know if you have any specific UI element added earlier.

Anyone know good resource on C# source/incremental generator?
WinUIShell v0.5.0 has been published including the XamlReader support. Now you can create a WinUI 3 window by loading XAML similar to WPF in PowerShell.

github.com/mdgrs-mei/Wi...

Next, a bit of multi-threading support and full API implementation using source generator.
