Support for win2d in Desktop apps (WinUI) #213

Closed jtorjo closed 2 weeks ago

jtorjo commented 4 years ago

Since UWP is pretty much in maintenance mode (read: there's close to nothing done on it), focus has been on .Net 5 / WinUI /Desktop Apps. This is great!

I would like to be able to use win2d from a Desktop application (no XAML islands). I'm pretty sure I'm far from the only one here. There's a ticket since July 2019 (https://github.com/microsoft/Win2D/issues/707)

Please let me know if I should post this to the WinUI repository.

We really want this as well in a desktop app which currently uses GDI+ for graphics in OnDraw() functions (C++) and would LOVE to move it to WinUI + Win2d!

@stevewri It's awesome you guys are looking into this! Is it safe to assume this will be ready within a 6-9 months timeframe? Clearly, the sooner the better -- I have an app that I'd like to port from UWP to Desktop as soon as possible (the only reason I used UWP was for win2d).

We can't commit to future timeframes, but we keep this issue posted with any progress.

@stevewri Got it, thanks.

@jtorjo UWP is not in maintenance mode. It's still the way to go unless your scenario doesn't work in UWP and requires full trust access

jtorjo commented 3 years ago

@Jaiganeshkumaran How would you know that?

pjmlp commented 3 years ago

How come UWP is not in maintainance mode, given that Microsoft is silent on .NET Native's future and modern .NET support?

Closing as completed, as Win2D has bee available for WinUI 3 / WinAppSDK for a while now. If there are any issues requests related to it, those requests should be logged in the Win2D repo.
