C++/WinRT is a standard C++17 language projection for Windows Runtime (WinRT) APIs, implemented as a header-file-based library. It lets developers author and consume modern Windows APIs with any standards-compliant C++17 compiler.
Use cases
- call Windows Runtime APIs from standard C++
- build UWP or WinUI apps in C++ without C++/CX
- consume WinRT components using any C++17 compiler
- author Windows Runtime components in modern C++
- access modern Windows APIs without COM boilerplate
When to choose
- you want first-class, header-only access to WinRT APIs in standards-compliant C++
- you are building modern Windows apps or components in C++17 or later
- you want to avoid legacy C++/CX or raw COM interop
When to avoid
- you target platforms other than Windows
- your compiler does not support C++17
- you need a .NET or Rust projection instead of C++
