    Hello maybe a dumb question but I need to ask.
    How do you use this with xml files to control the layout and look of forms. Lets say I wanted certain aspects of the form to be different than the last form (different buttons as specified in the xml file, form bgs, etc.). Is this possible?

    Is it also possible to add lua or ironpython to help with some of the functions?  Have yet to find anything really good on embedding another language into XNA for the PC.

    I just wanted to ask as this is awesome work and by far the most advanced I have yet to come across?

      Hi, thank you for your comments.

      Unfortunately the library doesn't support XML files at this point. Maybe in the future after I'm done with other projects or if someone joins the development team.

      Adding a scripting language would probably be even more work, I haven't read much on the subject.

      No problem and thank you for the fast response.  I would be willing to join but as I am kinda  noob on c# and able to things with XNA. However I have gotten the nack to pretty much rip games apart (without decomp) and figure out how they do things. Coding that out, I am finding rather hard to do. But hey gotta start somewhere. 

      But if you do add XML support to control the forms and their controls that would be awesome.

      Another question, does the system allow you to setup forms within forms?
      Parent -> Child forms?

      Oops, forgot to answer to your last question, sorry for being late..

      The library doesn't support MDI forms unfortunately and implementing that would be a little tricky and not to mention time consuming. I'll think about adding it but I don't promise anything.
