When you ask a question, make sure you include as much detail as possible. Such as code, the issue you are facing, what you expect the result to be, what .NET version you are using and what platform/environment (if any) are relevant to your question. Upload code here https://paste.mod.gg/, save, and copy the link into chat for others to see your shared code! (see $code for more information on how to paste your code)

Maybe start with actually describing your problem

So I'm making a GUI program that will make use of cmd programs

- What are you trying to do? - What have you tried? - What is the expected result? Okay. I can already recommend https://github.com/Tyrrrz/CliWrap then its an excellent library for running cli tools programatically

Nice. And also I need to show some info about the process

also give this a read, it will avoid future issues with your current UI $rulesofwpf

Rules of WPF:

❌ Avoid the WPF Designer to eliminate a category of confusing bugs
❌ Don't rely on Margin as the primary tool for layouts
❌ Avoid writing UserControls or subclassing to extend a default control -- use Behaviors instead (Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors.Wpf)

✅ Write XAML by hand and autoformat with "Ctrl K,D" or XAML Styler
✅ Rely upon XAML Hot Reload to design your app's UI at runtime
✅ Use layout controls (Grid, DockPanel, etc) to support proper resizing
✅ Use data binding to eliminate glue code and state synchronization issues
✅ Use collection controls and DataTemplate to dynamically create lists of controls
✅ Learn MVVM to create maintainable apps
✅ Use the Dispatcher to update controls from non-UI threads
✅ WPF's default controls can be easily modernized via $wpfuilibs
✅ Include relevant XAML, code-behind, and ViewModel code for questions when possible

all these are bad

leowest•2mo ago

all this means you're using the designer to move things around and adding things generating unecessary margins that will make things not work the way u expect them to work

GuiMi•2mo ago

oh... That's where the text info is going Here goes problem number 2 It's about the list box I need it to show the image when I select an option. And the text will be changed too.

Pobiega•2mo ago

Thats usually handled with data bindings

GuiMi•2mo ago

oh nice

leowest•2mo ago

there really isn't much shortcut tbh, you need to learn how to use XAML and u need knowledge of the basics of c# to not fall prey of why this doesnt work type of issues. for wpf xaml you can use https://wpf-tutorial.com/wpf-application/introduction/ it covers several topics including databinding, how to use a listbox, how to customize it. in regards c# https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/shows/csharp-fundamentals-for-absolute-beginners/ these are the main topics u need to know to not be so lost with things.
