Crate ferroui_winui 

ferroui-winui

The framework’s content inside a WinUI 3 (Windows App SDK) application: [FerroSwapChainPanel], a SwapChainPanel the content renders into through a composition swap chain of the Windows backend, with pointer, keyboard and text input, cursors, drag and drop and automation.

The design, the bindings, the threads and how it is tested are in docs/porting/winui.md. The crate compiles on every host; what calls the system is compiled for Windows only (cfg(windows)), and the logic that maps values (keys, cursors, control types, pointer events, text) is compiled, and tested, everywhere.

An application initialises the Windows App SDK ([WindowsAppSdk]), sets the framework up with the Windows backend and its ANGLE rendering mode (the swap chain of the panel is created on ANGLE’s Direct3D 11 device), runs the XAML application ([XamlApplication::start]) and, from its launch, puts a panel into a window of WinUI with the content it shows. Once Application.Start has returned and the bootstrap is shut down, it ends the process with [end_process], as the runtime of the reference ends it (docs/porting/winui.md, section 7.7).

Modules

interop

The interfaces of the Windows Runtime the integration calls and implements: WinUI 3 (Microsoft.UI.Xaml), its input, dispatching and content namespaces (Microsoft.UI.*), and what it uses of the system (Windows.UI.Text.Core, Windows.ApplicationModel.DataTransfer, Windows.Storage, Windows.Foundation).

Structs

WindowsAppSdkOptions

What the bootstrap asks for: the version of the framework package and how a failure is reported.

Functions

parse_major_minor

Parses major.minor (as 1.6) into the form of WindowsAppSdkOptions::major_minor_version.
