Structs
A type representing an agile reference to a COM/WinRT object.
A WinRT array stores elements contiguously in a heap-allocated buffer.
An error object consists of both an error code as well as detailed error information for debugging.
A type that you can use to declare and implement an event of a specified delegate type.
An error code value returned by most COM functions.
A WinRT object that may be used as a polymorphic stand-in for any WinRT class, interface, or boxed value.
IInspectable represents the
IInspectable
interface.All COM interfaces (and thus WinRT classes and interfaces) implement
IUnknown
under the hood to provide reference-counted lifetime management as well as the ability
to query for additional interfaces that the object may implement.
An “IN” param to a Windows API.
Similar to the Rust Standard Library’s
ManuallyDrop wrapper, the windows crate’s ManuallyDrop
makes it easier to work with Win32 structs that lack ownership semantics but nevertheless allow
callers to reference such non-blittable fields. Rust’s ManuallyDrop is not used primarily becauseA pointer to a constant null-terminated string of 8-bit Windows (ANSI) characters.
A pointer to a constant null-terminated string of 16-bit Unicode characters.
A pointer to a null-terminated string of 8-bit Windows (ANSI) characters.
A pointer to a null-terminated string of 16-bit Unicode characters.
Weak holds a non-owning reference to an object.Traits
Provides low-level access to a COM interface.
Provides low-level access to an interface vtable.
Functions
Attempts to load a function from a given library.
Attempts to load the factory object for the given WinRT class.
This can be used to access COM interfaces implemented on a Windows Runtime class factory.
