I'm not much of a windows user so sorry if it's a dumb question, but don't newer UI libraries like UWP and WinUI just act as wrappers around Win32 functions?
Like if I wrote a UWP/WinUI/etc program and disassembled it, wouldn't it just call Win32 functions in some system dll to do things like create windows, receive messages etc?
- zerr 7y agoNot sure about others, but e.g. WinForms is a wrapper for Win32 controls. WPF has its own rendering.
- snagglegaggle 7y agoYes, for the most part. Some of them use Win32 functions but do their own drawing, like the newer opacity parts in the UWP settings menu.
