WinUI Extensions

A set of extension methods and classes to fill some gaps in WinUI 3, mostly around windowing.

To get the extension methods, first add using WinUIEx; to the top of your code.

• Minimize/Maximize/Restore and Hide window.

    myWindow.MinimizeWindow();
    myWindow.MaximizeWindow();
    myWindow.RestoreWindow();
    myWindow.HideWindow();`

• Move and resize window

   myWindow.CenterOnScreen();
   myWindow.SetWindowPositionAndSize(100, 100, 1024, 768);

• Make Window always-on-top

    myWindow.SetAlwaysOnTop(true);

• Bring window to the top

    myWindow.BringToFront();

• Remove Window chrome buttons

Make your window class inherit from WinUIEx.WindowEx instead, and set properties IsCloseButtonVisible, IsMaximizeButtonVisible, IsMinimizeButtonVisible

• Create a Tray Icon

    var icon = Icon.FromFile("Images/WindowIcon.ico");
    tray = new TrayIcon(icon);
    tray.TrayIconLeftMouseDown += (s, e) => this.BringToFront();

And more to come...
