WPF


WPF is a modern SDK created by Microsoft for building GUIs in Windows. Many powerful Windows applications today, including Visual Studio 2010 and later, are built using WPF. WPF makes it easy to create sophisticated GUI controls that are composed of other controls. It also has support for animation, styling, and data binding. It optionally supports a declarative UI layout through a XML format called XAML.

UI toolkits for games are often simpler and less featureful than desktop-grade UI toolkits. Incorporating WPF into a Mogre application allows a developer to have a sophisticated UI and leverage the vast wealth of WPF resources available.
