Crate windows_async

Simple async executor for windows application using windows crate.

Examples

// Show Desktop App list example (using WinRT "Windows.Inventory.InstalledDesktopApp")
use windows_async::{IntoAwaiter};
 
use windows::core::{
    Result,
};
 
use windows::System::Inventory::{
    InstalledDesktopApp,
};
 
async fn show_installed_desktop_app() -> Result<()> {
 
    // `IAsyncOperation` converts to `AsyncOperationAwaiter` and then awaits.
    // (`IntoAwaiter::into_awaiter()` method is convenient.)
    let vec = InstalledDesktopApp::GetInventoryAsync()?.into_awaiter().await?;
 
    for i in 0..vec.Size()? {
        let item = vec.GetAt(i)?;
        println!("Id: {:?}", item.Id()?);
        println!("DisplayName: {:?}", item.DisplayName()?);
        println!("Publisher: {:?}", item.Publisher()?);
        println!("DisplayVersion: {:?}", item.DisplayVersion()?);
        println!();
    }
 
    Ok(())
}
 
fn main() {
    if let Err(e) = windows_async::block_on(show_installed_desktop_app()) {
        println!("error: {:?}", e);
    }
}
