Crate winrt_xaml 

WinRT-XAML

A Rust library for creating UIs using WinRT and XAML.

This library provides a safe, idiomatic Rust interface to Windows Runtime (WinRT) XAML APIs, enabling the creation of modern Windows applications with XAML-based UIs.

Features

• Application Management: Easy application lifecycle management
• Window Management: Create and manage windows with XAML content
• XAML Controls: Rich set of UI controls (Button, TextBlock, TextBox, etc.)
• Layout Panels: Flexible layout system (StackPanel, Grid, Canvas)
• Event Handling: Type-safe event subscription and handling
• Data Binding: Reactive data binding support
• XAML Parsing: Runtime and compile-time XAML parsing
• Compile-Time XAML: xaml! macro for zero-cost abstractions
• Styling: Resource dictionaries and style management

Example

use winrt_xaml::prelude::*;

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let app = Application::new()?;

    let window = Window::new()?
        .title("My XAML App")
        .size(800, 600);

    let button = Button::new()
        .content("Click Me!")
        .on_click(|_| {
            println!("Button clicked!");
        });

    window.set_content(button)?;
    app.run()
}

XAML Islands

For desktop (Win32) applications, this library uses XAML Islands to host XAML content within traditional windows. Enable the xaml-islands feature (enabled by default) to use this functionality.
