Eagerly awaited - this’ll be a big hit. I’ll let everyone know about it at the upcoming Windows Connections workshops.

Great tool, but we could use some tutorials. I probably just haven’t figured out how to do it yet, but I can’t seem to be able to add a control, put code in for it, then add additional controls. There seems to be a strict difference between this tool outputting .ps1 files and .pff. The .pff files are great for re-opening and adding new controls or changing the layout of the form, but once you export it to a .ps1 and start adding code, there doesn’t seem to be a way to edit that .ps1 and add more controls (buttons, textboxes, etc). I’m sure I’m missing something simple, I can’t imagine you guys would make it so someone had to completly design the form first, then add the code without the ability to change the form layout and add additional controls.

There is a Getting Started Guide which walks you through most of the tool, plus some sample forms and scripts so you can see how things go together.
The form generator is only responsible for generating code to create the form. What I did when I need to make changes was export the new form to the clipboard, paste into a new file, then copy and paste the new form code into my existing script, keeping all the the script blocks and functions.
