Windows 10: Windows 11 23H2, Dynamic Lighting SDK

RoNight · Jul 17, 2023

Good afternoon, I want to know if dynamic lighting will be available to developers in Visual Studio, I will explain in more detail, I would like to be able to use dynamic lighting in my projects, when creating an application, so that my application already has built-in use of this feature. I would like to see this function as a library for more fine-tuning of components.

:)

Windows SDK for Facebook

We’re pleased to announce a new open source library for integrating Facebook into your Windows apps. The Windows SDK for Facebook is geared towards app developers creating Universal Windows apps on both desktop and phone. The SDK supports universal Windows app for Windows Phone 8.1, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10. Using this library, you can easily integrate Facebook Authorization, Like, Graph and other Facebook functionality into your app. This library is also fully native so the CLR is not a dependency. Features included are:

Authorization

Login

Logout

Login Button

Profile Picture control

Dialogs

Feed dialog

Request dialog

Graph

Custom Stories

Post to user’s feed

Upload Photo

Like a Page/Object

Where to Get the SDK

The SDK can be found on GitHub: GitHub - microsoft/winsdkfb: The Windows SDK for Facebook allows developers to provide Facebook integration for Windows Apps..
If you are developing a universal Windows app for Windows Phone 8.1, Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 and are currently using the Facebook .NET SDK (Facebook SDK for .NET), we recommend that you evaluate the new Windows SDK for Facebook for use in your app. The new Windows SDK features are listed on GitHub.

This new SDK carries forward the most popular capabilities of the existing .NET SDK. Should you identify any key features missing, please submit a feature request on the Windows SDK for Facebook GitHub repo.

Compilation Instructions

Compilation instructions for Windows apps are on the GitHub repo.

App Samples

Also included are sample projects that show how to integrate this library into your app. The sample projects show how to:

Log in

Display user information

Post to user timeline via feed dialog

Launch app request dialog to send requests to friends

Display the list of user’s likes

We have multiple samples on the GitHub repo. Below are some code snippets in C# and C++ showing how to do a login and get a user’s likes.

(see code at source below)

We’d like to encourage you to try the Windows SDK for Facebook. And, if you have suggestions for other open source projects that would help you make great apps, please let us know in the comments. For more information about Microsoft’s involvement with open source, check out these sites:

Windows SDK for Google Analytics

Google Analytics is one of the most popular analytics libraries for websites and mobile apps. Google Analytics is widely used to track user sessions, screen views, events, crashes, social interactions and promotional campaigns on Android and iOS.

Today, we are excited to announce that Microsoft is launching a Windows SDK for Google Analytics, providing an easy way for Windows 10 developers to access these valuable services. The SDK can be integrated into your apps via a NuGet package. The source is hosted on GitHub.

There is a C# SDK that can be used both by Universal Windows Store apps and desktop apps, and there is also a C++ WinRT component for developers targeting UWP apps written in C++ or JavaScript. Both the C# SDK and the C++ WinRT component use the same API names, so moving between them is seamless.

The SDK is built on top of Google’s Measurement Protocol, a service that allows developers to send engagement data to the Google Analytics Servers over HTTP requests. The APIs in the Windows SDK for Google Analytics are modeled on class names and design patterns from Google’s Android SDK, to ensure maximum portability and readability for those already familiar with Google Analytics on other platforms.

Getting started

If you prefer video format, this “Getting Started with the Windows SDK for Google Analytics” demonstrates every step below.

If you prefer written form, here is how you would add the Windows SDK for Google Analytics to your project:

Register your app for Google Analytics—when you register your property, make sure you do it as a “Mobile app” and not a website.

Add the appropriate NuGet reference to your app:

SDK for C# apps.

SDK for C++ and JavaScript apps.

Last but not least, add your code to track events.

The following are a few examples for a C# app. (If you prefer to see examples written for JavaScript or C++, the GitHub project includes additional samples in these languages.)

[table][tr][td]1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17[/td] [td]var tracker = AnalyticsManager.Current.CreateTracker("EnterYourPropertyIdHere"); AnalyticsManager.Current.ReportUncaughtExceptions = true; //create a timing event var screenName = "MainPage"; TimeSpan timeSpanToLoad = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(237); // sample tracker.Send(HitBuilder.CreateTiming("load", screenName, timeSpanToLoad).Build()); //Send a page view tracker.ScreenName = screenName; tracker.Send(HitBuilder.CreateScreenView().Build()); // Send a userclick event tracker.Send(HitBuilder.CreateEvent("user-events-category", "click", "sharing-button", 0).Build()); // Send a social interaction tracker.Send(HitBuilder.CreateSocialInteraction("facebook", "share", "link").Build());[/td] [/tr] [/table]

Roadmap, feedback and contributions

We are excited about this feature-rich first release and the new capabilities it lights up for Windows developers. We welcome your suggestions for improvements as well as reports of any issues you find on our GitHub. Finally, remember that this is an open source initiative. We invite you to contribute your own code to make the SDK even better.
