A WinForms-inspired object-oriented framework around Dear ImGui.

You only need to install the imGui.Forms nuget package in your project.

To create your own GUI, you have to add those two lines to your main method:

var form = new MainForm();
new Application().Execute(form);

MainForm is your own derivation of the abstract class Form, in which you set your components for your design. MainForm is used as an example name, and you can freely choose the name of your derivative class.
You set your components to the property Content iny your derived class.

The constructor of Application takes an ILocalizer as well, which can be called via Application.Localizer.Localize() to localize a string used in the application. Currently localizations get only set, when they are set explicitly. A system is planned, where you can set up automatic re-setting of application strings, after the locale of the ILocalizer was changed.

Containing the Application and Form classes, which act as the main entry point into the library.

Containing all controls usable on a form.

You can create your own controls by deriving from ImGui.Forms.Controls.Base.Component and using ImGuiNET to emit Dear ImGui commands in the UpdateInternal method. The UpdateInternal method of the control will retrieve the absolute coordinates and size of itself as a parameter, as they would be needed in ImGui DrawList calls. Those information are derived from parent layouts and the Size value returned from GetSize in the same control.

Containing various modals and dialogs, such as MessageBox, OpenFileDialog, and SaveFileDialog.

Use MessageBox.ShowErrorAsync, MessageBox.ShowInformationAsync, or MessageBox.ShowYesNoAsync to show a blocking messagebox over the remaining form content.

OpenFileDialog and SaveFileDialog were designed to look and feel like the equally named dialogs in WinForms. Consult their Microsoft documentation for further information.
