Can you use this from a regular C++ Win32 app? Thanks.
Yes.
How? When I run it, the returned HWND is NULL. Also, what should init_apartment do, it is missing from your example. Thanks.
Figured it out, eventually. The call to init_apartment is from the C++/WinRT langauge projection. For this example, it turns out it is not needed. What is needed though, is to properly initialize the WNDCLASSEX structure, by properly setting its size and zeroing it when declaring it, like so:
WNDCLASSEX wndParentClass = {};
wndParentClass.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
In order to successfully run this, create a DLL and load it into a RuntimeBroker.exe instance that you are starting. To load a DLL in an external process, you can use the CreateRemoteThread technique. You can also close the instance that you started when your main app closes by creating a job object and setting the JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE limit flag on it.
This should be a public API, anyone can spawn RuntimeBroker.exe and open their window and do their code there, so what's the point of overprotecting this so much?
Thank you very much for the sample code you have provided.
Perfect, I'm happy that it worked fine for you!
I forgot to remove init_apartment
since I was trying to put a xaml islands in it (without getting it to work at all). Also I forgot to zero memory wndParentClass. I've updated it accordingly.
Thank you!

It's Microsoft, they haven't thought about dll injection lol

Yeah, right? I was showing this to a friend and taking with him about how open Windows is in this regard... On Linux, it is much harder to achieve this, as far as I know.

For me, it would not run with the call there... Weird... Anyway, since you took the time to update it, please remove the using namespace winrt
line at the top of the document as well.
Anyway, thank you very much again for this, I hope to turn it into a cool project that I am currently working on.
init_apartment needs C++/WinRT "compiler toolchain" to work. Also it works only in Release AFAIK.

Updated! 😀

All right, this I have installed.

All right, I did not know that. I was running in Debug, indeed.
Updated! 😀
Thanks ;)
Anyway, how did you figure about this? Did you need it for some project, or...?
Also, do you happen to know of any hidden API or stuff like that than can hide buttons on the taskbar for UWP apps. The ITaskBarList
interfaces (specifically DeleteTab()
) work for regular apps, but not for UWP. Do you have any insight on this?
Thank you.
Nice Work! Can this be used in a c# app?
