Windows Forms & XNA

Most games don't use WinForms for their in-game GUI...typically you'll want controls to have a very customized look and behavior, and WinForms isn't very good for that. Instead WinForms is more popular for making tools like map editors or model viewers...if that's what you're looking to do then you'll want to look at this.

Thanks! But the editor is not the case. I want to create a very very basic simple GUI for the game. It is a text based game actually.

The GUI needs to be nothing more than a simple 200x300 box displaying a simple graphical output (the game world). Around such a screen there is some buttons for inventory, skills, spells, etc..
Underneath the graphical output a label that would contain the details of the fighting events (like X hit you for 7 points, you hit y for 10 points and so on).

I already created such a GUI in the form... Using the WinForm example you provided, however i can't link them both. So for example i could display the fighting scenario text. Can't use the buttons or link them with the game.

If there is any kind of documentation in any format available for such a process.. That would help alot..

Thanks again.
