Windows Apps gives you foundational information on XAML, including dependency properties and attached properties. You learn how to create custom markup extensions and about the control categories available with WinUI, including advanced techniques such as adaptive triggers and deferred loading.
The sample code for this chapter contains this solution:
- HelloWindows (Startup, MainPage, events)
- IntroXAML
- DataLib (library used by Windows App)
- XAMLIntro (elements and attributes)
- DependencyObjectSample (dependency properties)
- RoutedEvents
- AttachedProperty
- MarkupExtensions
- CustomMarkupExtension
- ControlsSamples (Viewbox, TextBox, CalendarView, ProrgressBar, Slider...)
- DataBindingSamples (compiled binding)
- NavigationControls (Hub, TabView, NavigationView)
- LayoutSamples (Grid, VariableSizedWrapGrid, RelativePanel, Adaptive Trigger, deferred loading)
See WinUI for information what's needed to create, build, and run WinUI applications.
To create WinUI applications, use this template with Visual Studio: Blank App, Packaged (WinUI 3 in Desktop)
MessageDialog needs a Windows initialization (as shown in the XAMLIntro sample)
See MessageDialog is no longer functional
