c++ - 带有 DirectX 部分的 Metro 风格应用程序

Question

Windows 8 API 是否允许我编写将 XAML 用于 UI 并使用 DirectX 呈现 3D 对象的应用程序？假设我正在编写一个 3D 建模应用程序。我想在 XAML 中制作许多对话框和 UI 元素，以及我将使用 DirectX 呈现的单个矩形窗口。我更喜欢使用 C++。这可能吗？

好消息!看来 Windows 8 的发布版本将允许 Metro/XAML 和 DirectX Interop!

This is a common theme that we heard after we released the Developer Preview. Developers like you wanted to combine the high-performance immediate-mode rendering capabilities of DirectX with the rich interactivity, control model, and design-time experience of XAML.

We heard you. With the Consumer Preview, you can now smoothly integrate XAML and DirectX 11 in the same Metro style app to create a fast and fluid experience. For example, you can now create a DirectX game and use XAML to process input, create graphics for heads-up displays and menus, or bind to your app’s data model.

To this end, we added 3 new XAML types to support a broad range of DirectX interop scenarios, each with different capabilities:

• SurfaceImageSource enables full composition of DirectX content into a XAML app. This allows drawing DirectX content into the XAMLvisual tree, useful for complex image effects, data visualization,and other immediate-mode drawing scenarios.

• VirtualSurfaceImageSource is used for large-scale virtualized content. This is targeted toward apps that require panning and
  zooming of large content, like maps and document viewers.

• SwapChainBackgroundPanel targets full-screen, DirectX-focused scenarios. This is great for games and other low-latency, full-screenDirectX apps with a XAML overlay.

根据结果的好坏，您仍然可以选择放弃 Metro 转而使用 WPF，因为 WPF 和 Direct3D 可以互操作。
