PluginUI.Desktop

Builds complete Windows desktop applications with PluginUI as their whole user interface (Win32 + Direct2D, C#, .NET 10), compiled as IL (dotnet run, debugging) or NativeAOT (one native .exe, set <PublishAot>true</PublishAot> and run dotnet publish).

  • DesktopApplication: DPI awareness, data folder under %APPDATA%, main window with its saved placement, recent files, application commands (ExitCommand, FullScreenCommand on F11), message loop, crash report.
  • DocumentSession: file path, modified state, title bar, New / Open / Save / Save As with their dialogs, the "save changes?" question when closing, recent files.
  • UndoStack: undo / redo with merging of continuous edits and ready-made Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y commands.
  • AppSettings<T>: JSON settings through System.Text.Json source generation (no reflection, AOT safe).
  • MessageDialog: synchronous message boxes drawn with PluginUI.

The menu bar (MenuBar), commands and shortcuts (Command, KeyGesture), modal windows (StandaloneWindow.ShowDialog), the dark title bar, the window icon and full screen (StandaloneWindow.IsFullScreen) are in the PluginUI package itself.
