As another example of universality of HarePoint Explorer for SharePoint, let`s review the operations with class System.Windows.Forms.Form.

Open new script window and modify text of method Main the following way:

C#
 
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Text;
using MAPILab.SharePoint.Explorer.CodeForm;
using MAPILab.SharePoint.Explorer.Utilities.ScriptRunner;
using System.Windows.Forms;
 
public class Tester
{
    static void Main(
         MAPILab.SharePoint.Explorer.CodeForm.MLCodeForm thisForm
        ,MAPILab.SharePoint.Explorer.Utilities.ScriptRunner.MLBrowser browser
        )
    {
        
        Form form = new Form(); 
        form.Text = "Hello From MAPILab Explorer For SharePoint"; 
        FlowLayoutPanel layoutPanel = new FlowLayoutPanel(); 
        form.Controls.Add(layoutPanel); 
        layoutPanel.Dock = DockStyle.Fill; 
        TextBox textBox = new TextBox(); 
        textBox.Text = "Enter you name"; 
        layoutPanel.Controls.Add(textBox); 
        Button button = new Button(); 
        button.Text = "Click Me!"; 
        layoutPanel.Controls.Add(button); 
        form.Show();
 
        // Output browser configuration 
        //browser.Text = "Browser window"; 
        //browser.DisplayMode = 
        MAPILab.SharePoint.Explorer.Utilities.ScriptRunner.DisplayMode.Expanded; 
        browser.ReturnValue = form;
    }
}

    Shared Sub Main(ByVal thisForm 
    As MAPILab.SharePoint.Explorer.CodeForm.MLCodeForm, 
                    ByVal browser 
                    As MAPILab.SharePoint.Explorer.Utilities.ScriptRunner.MLBrowser)
        
        Dim form 
        As Form = new Form()
        form.Text = "Hello From MAPILab Explorer For SharePoint" 
        Dim layoutPanel 
        As FlowLayoutPanel = new FlowLayoutPanel() 
        form.Controls.Add(layoutPanel)
        layoutPanel.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
        Dim textBox 
        As TextBox = new TextBox()
        textBox.Text = "Enter you name" 
        layoutPanel.Controls.Add(textBox)
        Dim button 
        As Button = new Button()
        button.Text = "Click Me!" 
        layoutPanel.Controls.Add(button)
        form.Show()
        
        ' Output browser configuration 
        'browser.Text = "Browser window" 
        'browser.DisplayMode = 
        MAPILab.SharePoint.Explorer.Utilities.ScriptRunner.DisplayMode.Expanded 
 
        browser.ReturnValue = form
    End Sub 
End Class
