First true Windows 8 Metro app from FWH !!!

[Antonio Linares]

First true Windows 8 Metro window using the WinRT API from FWH and Harbour !!!

[Antonio Linares]

As a curiosity here you have the Metro IID_IApplication value that it is no where yet in Google

Code: Select all  Expand view

static const IID IID_IApplication =
{
   0x74B861A1, 0x7487, 0x46A9,
   { 0x9A, 0x6E, 0xC7, 0x8B, 0x51, 0x27, 0x26, 0xC5 }
}; 

So Google, go and index it

[Antonio Linares]

In order to build Windows 8 WinRT apps, we need to link combase.lib. Windows 8 provides a combase.dll, so we can extract combase.def this way:

impdef.exe combase.def combase.dll

Then to build a lib: (if using Borland)

implib.exe combase.lib combase.dll

If using Microsoft C/C++:

lib.exe /DEF:combase.def /OUT:combase.lib

[Antonio Linares]

Google already indexed IID_IApplication, lets go now for IID_IApplicationFactory

Code: Select all  Expand view

static const IID IID_IApplicationFactory =
{
   0x93BBE361, 0xBE5A, 0x4EE3,
   { 0xB4, 0xA3, 0x95, 0x11, 0x8D, 0xC9, 0x7A, 0x89 }
};

Dear Antonio,

Sorry for the question, what is this?

Google already indexed IID_IApplication, lets go now for IID_IApplicationFactory

Code: Select all  Expand view

static const IID IID_IApplicationFactory =
{
   0x93BBE361, 0xBE5A, 0x4EE3,
   { 0xB4, 0xA3, 0x95, 0x11, 0x8D, 0xC9, 0x7A, 0x89 }
};
 

Thanks,
Dutch

Dutch,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globally_unique_identifier

The value of a GUID is represented as a 32-character hexadecimal string, such as {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}, and is usually stored as a 128-bit integer. The total number of unique keys is 2128 or 3.4×1038. This number is so large that the probability of the same number being generated randomly twice is negligible, however, GUID numbers are not always generated randomly

Microsoft Windows uses GUIDs internally to identify the classes and interfaces of COM objects. A script can activate a specific class or object without having to know the name or location of the dynamic linked library that contains it

Thanks Antonio,

I've got it.

Uso Win 8.1 64 bits
Cómo convierto Combase.Dll a Lib?

He conseguido esa .Dll en la version de Windows 8 a 32 bits y, siguiendo tus pasos he generado Combase.Lib, la he añadido en los correspondientes ficheros .Bat, y he intentado generar el .EXE

En Borland (Bcc582), compila y linka sin errores, pero al ejecutar obtengo un hb_out.log

Congrats Antonio!

This is an interesting read about the difference between regular desktop apps and WinRT apps:

Could you please post Called from ROINITIALIZE source code ? thanks

Cristobal,

Ese es un código que desarrollé basado en el trabajo de un ex-R+D de Borland, con quien lo comenté, pero él mismo no continuó

Antonio,

Congratulations!!!! Maybe this is an answer to my previous post, about Windows 8 messages?

[Antonio Linares]

Kleyber,

Somehow it is the same, but this way took us to a dead end place.

The other way that Antonio Mart commented may be ok
