WinSafe
Win32 GUI and related APIs in safe, idiomatic Rust.
WinSafe has:
- high-level structs to build native Win32 GUI applications;
- low-level Win32 API constants, functions and structs related to GUI.
If you're looking for a comprehensive Win32 coverage, take a look at winapi or windows crates, which are unsafe, but have everything.
WinSafe documentation:
- stable release: docs.rs/winsafe
- master branch: rodrigocfd.github.io/winsafe/winsafe
Current status
This crate is still in alpha stage. Below is an estimated progress of feature groups:

Window messages | |
Overall Win32 APIs |
Usage
Add the dependency in your Cargo.toml
:
[]
= "0.0.6"
To enable the DirectShow COM module, use:
[]
= { = "0.0.6", = ["dshow"] }
To enable the Shell COM module, use:
[]
= { = "0.0.6", = ["shell"] }
Example
Note: You can find several examples in the dedicated repo: github.com/rodrigocfd/winsafe-examples
WinSafe allows you to create windows in two ways:
- programmatically defining parameters; or
- loading dialogs from a
.res
file created with a WYSIWYG resource editor.
The example below creates a window with a button programmatically. Note how the click event is handled with a closure:
use ;
