[New VERSION] - 07/09/25 With release of AutoIt v3.3.18.0 an internal reorganisation of the standard includes requires and additional #include line to the UDF - new version in the zip in the first post. M23

and an approach in practical packaging I moved it to _circularprogress

Maybe if you gave more information about what the Windows Info panel is, I could be more precise. ShellExecute("ms-settings:about") or you could make a shortcut with the command explorer ms-settings:about and there you can give the HotKey you want e.g. alt+shift+i

boy15, You will need to provide a clearer explanation than that to have any chance of being helped. M23 P.S. Mod team involved - everyone else please stay out.

You need to explain this more, because your question is on the boundaries of something nefarious.

Hi all - This is an offshoot of the WinRT Project. I'm posting my progress here while I'm bumbling around with WinUI3 - just so the main project doesn't get too cluttered. If I get things working I'll merge the two projects back together. That's the plan anyway! Theres not much there at the moment, but if you wish to try it out you'll need to: download and extract the example (The attachment it too big for here, so I've popped it in sourceforge) Go here and download the latest Redistributable package of the Windows App SDK. Currently this is 1.7.3 (look in the table for the link.). Once you've extracted that, go to the MSIX > win10-x64 folder and install Microsoft.WindowsAppRuntime.1.7.msix It seems the x86 libraries don't work at the moment. (thanks for testing Gianni) Progress so far... Cheers, Matt

Hi folks, Attached below is one way of attacking WinRT Objects. These are essentially COM objects, however they don't have an IDispatch interface so ObjCreate() cannot be used. It is possible to expose them using ObjCreateInterface though. Alternately, DllCallAddress() may be used to access an object's functions directly from memory. I'm using the latter mainly because that's the path I started down first! To make sense of whats in the attachment... WinRT.au3 - Core high level functions that sit on top of interface libraries Includes Async and Collection implementations etc. So basic high level functionality. WinRTCore.au3 - Internal helper functions for interface libraries Interface Folder - Interface libraries (there are over 850 of these!). Essentially these wrap the functions in an interface's vtable Includes tags which may be used with ObjCreateInterface Enums Folder - Contains map datatypes that can be used to convert enumeration strings to their numeric type, or vice versa Classes Folder - doesn't actually contain code - A class file includes interface and enum files that belong to a class. Namespaces Folder - doesn't actually contain code - A namespace file includes classes that are related. Bonus: I've also uploaded a rudimentary WinRT Class Explorer if it happens to be useful to anyone. Bonus2: I've added a tool that installs/removes calltips for interface libraries.
