Xaml preview not looking like built gui
Describe the bug
Hey,
A bit newb to this but this project looks good!! Im looking to design a modern gui in VS Studio, to use it in my powershell using the logic below:
Add-Type -LiteralPath ".\Wpf.Ui.dll"
Add-Type -AssemblyName PresentationFramework
[xml]$xaml = @"
<ui:FluentWindow
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:ui="http://schemas.lepo.co/wpfui/2022/xaml"
x:Name="Window">
<ui:FluentWindow.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ui:ThemesDictionary Theme="Dark" />
<ui:ControlsDictionary />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</ui:FluentWindow.Resources>
<StackPanel>
<ui:TitleBar Title="WPF UI Title Bar"/>
<TextBlock Padding="10">This is a WPF window styled to look like WinUI 3!</TextBlock>
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<TextBox x:Name="MyTextBox" Width="150" />
<ui:Button x:Name="SubmitButton" Content="Submit" Margin="5" />
</StackPanel>
</StackPanel>
</ui:FluentWindow>
"@
$reader = (New-Object System.Xml.XmlNodeReader $xaml)
$window = [Windows.Markup.XamlReader]::Load($reader)
$window.ShowDialog()
However when creating a new brand new C# WPF Project (net 8.0) using this tutorial: https://wpfui.lepo.co/documentation/nuget.html
My gui looks like this in development view (i would like to drag and drop items etc etc edit it just like in OG XAML):
and this is what it looks like once ran (yes i can edit code here and hot-reload but preview window drag n drop would be my preferred way of creating the gui):
My current xaml is this:
<ui:FluentWindow x:Class="WpfApp1.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:ui="http://schemas.lepo.co/wpfui/2022/xaml"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApp1"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800">
<ui:FluentWindow.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ui:ThemesDictionary Theme="Dark" />
<ui:ControlsDictionary />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</ui:FluentWindow.Resources>
<Grid Margin="451,263,0,0">
<ui:SymbolIcon Symbol="Fluent24"/>
<ui:Button Content="Button" Margin="-305,-156,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
</Grid>
</ui:FluentWindow>
