Created by djones on 6/18/2013 8:59:36 AM

The topics covered in this chapter are:

  • XAML for Windows Embedded Application Operating System Requirements
  • XAML for Windows Embedded UI Design using Blend
  • Generate the C++ Windows Embedded XAML project
  • XAML Time Button Event Handler Code
  • XAML Application Exit Code
  • Calling a DLL from Native XAML C++

XAML for Windows Embedded (XWE) facilitates the development of rich graphical user interfaces with a native code backend. Because they are native code they have full access the OS API and are more efficient than managed code XAML applications. XAML which means eXtensible Application Markup Language, is an XML based markup language that is used to specify the components, layout and function of the application’s user interface.

XAML Application Operating System Requirements

XWE applications require the XAML for Windows Embedded runtime component with the XAML based Message Box being an optional component. These are in the Catalog under:
Core OS/Windows Embedded Compact/Shell and User Interface/XAML for Windows Embedded

An XWE project will require one of the following OS Design Templates:

  • The XAML UI Device template
    OR
  • The Win32 and WinForms UI Device template plus the XAML for Windows Embedded runtime and XAML based Message Box Catalog components
  • The Generic OS for Application development, covered in the Application Development chapter is a suitable platform for XWE application development

The XAML UI Device template adds the XAML Sample Home Screen and Default XAML Theme as well as the XAML Control Panel components. But these are not required to run XWE applications.

Note1: An XWE subproject will not build unless the OS has been built with the XAML runtime included.

Note2: XAML for Windows Embedded (Compact 2013) was formally Silverlight for Windows Embedded (Compact 7/CE 6)
