Create the device and context

nullptr
// use the default adapter

Creating another FrameworkView
m_dxView = Windows::ApplicationModel::Core::CoreApplication::
CreateNewView("GameScreen.DirectXView","Example Entrypoint String");
Lets you have a full XAML environment for UI-heavy menus, options, etc.
Then have a separate DirectX-only screen
Yet another approach to XAML interop beyond SwapChainBackgroundPanel
Decision – Rotation
Rotation preferences
{
DisplayOrientations::None;
// Enable rotation by OS/Accelerometer
DisplayOrientations::Landscape;
// Lock rotation by OS/Accelerometer
DisplayOrientations::LandscapeFlipped; //
and enable this orientation
DisplayOrientations::Portrait;
DisplayOrientations::PortraitFlipped;
}
using namespace Windows::Graphics::Display;
DisplayProperties::AutoRotationPreferences = DisplayOrientations::Landscape;
|
DisplayOrientations::LandscapeFlipped;
Copying additional assets to AppData/Local
void myGame::OnActivated(CoreApplicationView^ applicationView,
IActivatedEventArgs^ args)
{
CoreWindow::GetForCurrentThread()->Activate();
if(args->Kind == ActivationKind::File)
{
auto item = safe_cast<FileActivatedEventArgs^>(args)->Files->GetAt(0);
if(item->Name == "texturepack.MyGame_wad")
{
safe_cast<StorageFile^>(item)->CopyAsync(
ApplicationData::Current->LocalFolder,
"data.wad",
NameCollisionOption::ReplaceExisting );
}
}
}
Your move.
