> There is a WPF forms designer but it's less accessible than the one for WinForms. The good news is that UI is generally created using an XML syntax in XAML files and relies on layout managers. Essentially you nest various containers within one another and put controls within the containers specifying minimum and maximum size constraints. The layout manager automatically lays things out based on the constraints you provide.
> I've found it pretty easy to have a sighted person come along, look at a layout and say things like "that edit box isn't big enough for the text," "the list view is so tall that the controls at the bottom are pushed off the screen," etc. I was then able to add additional constraints to resolve the problems.
