- contextfree 8y agoWinUI is the standard controls library for UWP
- miguelrochefort 8y agoI'm not sure what WinUI is. It only seems to contain extra UWP controls. None of the primitive ones.
- sleepinseattle 8y agoAll new controls get added to WinUI. I believe the older controls will get moved to WinUI over time. I work at Microsoft and use WinUI but don't directly work on it other than reporting bugs :)
- miguelrochefort 8y agoI'm afraid UWP isn't open source. In the meantime, Uno is the closest thing we have: https://github.com/nventive/Uno https://github.com/nventive/Uno
- vitorgrs 8y agoThey can't open-source UWP because it's basically a Windows thing. It's based on WinRT, which is based on COM.
- miguelrochefort 8y agoThey could still open source it. It would be mich easier to port it if the source code was available.
- maxxxxx 8y agoYou can open source Windows only code. Why not? WPF won't be cross platform either when open sourced.
- amatwl 8y agoUWP is WinRT (Windows Runtime). And, you're right, it's COM, but The Good Parts™.
