So I was just wondering if there was a winforms editor like this for python?

I saw that iron python exists but I doesn't have a visual editor It's just text...

You can use either of the following options:

• Pygubu designer for pygubu
• Qt designer for PyQt
• Windows Forms designer in Visual Studio and run the code using IronPython.

Example - Pass parameter from Windows Forms UI to a Python function

Here is an example of using IronPython in a C# Windows Forms app:

1. Create a Windows Forms application.

2. Install IronPython nuget package.

3. Add using IronPython.Hosting; statement to the using statements.

4. Drop a TextBox on the form (textBox1)

5. Drop a Button on the form (button1)

6. Double click on button and add the following code for the click handler:

   private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       var engine = Python.CreateEngine();
       var scope = engine.CreateScope();
       //You can also load script from file
       var source = engine.CreateScriptSourceFromString(
           "def hello(name):"   "\n"  
           "    result = 'Hello, {}!'.format(name)"   "\n"  
           "    return(result)",
           Microsoft.Scripting.SourceCodeKind.Statements);
       var compiled = source.Compile();
       compiled.Execute(scope);
       dynamic hello = scope.GetVariable("hello");
       var result = hello(textBox1.Text);
       MessageBox.Show((string)result);
   }
   

7. Press F5 to Run the application, enter a text, and click on the button. The function will run and you will see a message box saying hello.
