🎛️ Description

  • A test application for changes and updates made to the WindowsAppSDK.
  • WinUI 3 is the effort to lift official native Microsoft UI controls and features out of the operating system, so app developers can use the latest controls and visuals on any in-market version of the OS. C#/WinRT is needed to support the changes required for lifting the XAML APIs out of Windows.UI.XAML and into Microsoft.UI.XAML.
  • I've added code examples for customizing Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls.ContentDialog, Windows.UI.StartScreen.JumpList, Windows.ApplicationModel.Activation, Microsoft.UI.Windowing.AppWindow and Microsoft.UI.Windowing.DisplayArea management, and creating gradient window backdrops via Microsoft.UI.Composition.SpriteVisual. The blur effects are created from scratch without the use of any 3rd party NuGets.
  • This source also contains plenty of tips and tricks for any application, including but not limited to: Compositor, TaskBar, PubSub, Toast, Channels, DispatcherQueue, Image Capture, Split View, Profile Settings, Machine Environment, Binding, Stylers, Converters, P/Invoke, Extensions, et al.
  • There's a hidden surprise if you're watching the SplitView PubSub message queue while CapsLock is on.
  • Don't forget to give a ⭐ if you find any of my code helpful or educational.
