Front End/GUI Wrappers for (5) different PowerShell Scripts for Windows 10/11 Debloating and more

I made a button for each option that opens up a MESSAGE BOX to show the function body script. It reads from file 'Sophia.psm1' file and finds the beginning comment Synopsis and ending function bracket.

I need to clean up the code more.

Might go ahead and try to open it up in a new text form windows and toggle editing (read/edit toggle): I need to figure that out.

Updated to V1.5

 

I took down the ZIPs but first I need to think out loud ...

I have been thinking about the future of scripting/programming.

It seems everything has moved to opensource on GitHub and people who develop scripts/programs just get donations to 'help out'. Something is better than nothing.

Maybe I should move onto that model... I need time to think what I should do ....

I do like developing ...

 

The zip is fine.

 

I have been really lazy and hit some road bumps. This is what I got so far. I just repeated a radiobutton 'options' code for testing as seen in pic. No longer is the radio buttons placed with X,Y pixel coordinates like before so this should be scalable on Windows 10.


Problem: I am so used to Windows Forms and VB that learning WPF and C# properly is a problematic. Like there are ways to program this nice and clean (properly). I am lazy and I am stopping myself to program it badly. I want good code.

I am googling and learning tutorials but I am afraid I am learning it wrong. I was not taught how to do a program like this in school. Windows Forms is much easier (for me). I am learning slowly and keep changing my methods depending on what I find on the internet LOL.

From what I gather, there are more older Windows Forms resources/solutions than WPF with my googled questions.

This will take a while. But I am finding help and sometimes I get eureka moments so that is good feeling.

Basically my old solution works,,,, and I hate to redo everything lollololol


Merry Christmas everyone... if you celebrate it!

 

Been about a week since I last posted.

I have been trying to enjoy my holidays. Not bad so far.

Slowly I have been rebuilding the Windows 10 Debloat GUI in C# and WPF. Its 95% done. UI scales well on displays.



The first time I made the program it took me like 5-6 weeks in VB and Windows Forms counting additions later.

This one is taking me a while because I have to get used to thinking in WPF. The C# code and GUI are now separate files. I need to add this type of thinking to my routine as every modern program is WPF.
I am getting used to it. It takes another layer of abstraction. Googling for help takes 50% to 75% more time than old Windows Forms/VB. But luckily things I find are in C# with careful googling (adding terms C# and WPF to searches).

I learned quite a lot of useful development techniques. I finally use classes (objects).

So I am now working with farag now.

I believe he has the best PowerShell scripts for this 'Debloat' Windows 10 topic.

I want to see how this will work out.

I got my hands dirty in C# and WPF now. I was kind of lazy and scared to change my ways.
But I am better managing my reluctance to learn different methods.

I am in the final semester of my college program. It is suppose to be easier than last semester. So now I have some more free time.
I hope to do more interesting things.

I only know English. I can not translate. If you hover your mouse cursor over the radiobuttons you can read popup messages (Label + {ToolTip = info messages}). The ToolTips are stored in the file 'tooltip.txt'.

I made the wrapper easily editable with only text files to edit to change.

Because I only know English I can not create a different ToolTip. Maybe someone can create the ToolTip.txt file in your language. The radiobutton label is entirely different I think. I dont think you can easily change that

I tried to make the wrapper under 1280 pixel wide for users with small old monitors.
I can make the window bigger for bigger radiobuttons width or the radiobutton text label smaller but you can hover over the radiobuttons for more information.
Maybe I will add a feature to scale radiobuttons length? I need to figure that out but I am still pretty new.

 

I think I will take a break from doing these debloat stuff for a bit.

I need to step back.

I will continue to update the Sophia wrapper if farag has 'script updates' though.
