Extended Window type

Make your window class inherit from WinUIEx.WindowEx instead of Window and you get new features like:

  • Set Title in XAML.
  • Width and Height get/set properties, and correctly adjusting for system DPI.
  • Minimum Width and Height get/set properties.
  • Set TaskBarIcon.
  • Several Convenience properties for controlling if the window can be maximized, minimized, resized, should show in task bar and switchers, change presenter, make Window always on top, etc.
  • Easy shortcuts for showing Message Dialogs.
  • Automatically handles DPI changes and resizes correctly.

Usage

To use the WindowEx class, change the baseclass of your window (usually MainWindow). In MainWindow.xaml.cs change 

  public sealed partial class MainWindow : Window

to

  public sealed partial class MainWindow : WinUIEx.WindowEx

And in MainWindow.xaml change

<Window   ...>

to

<winex:WindowEx xmlns:winex="using:WinUIEx" Width="1024" Height="768"  ...>
