Which overlay ?
Yes Exactly, I need to develop overlay using WinUI3.

Generally in wpf application, we can achieve the overlay functionality by mentioning the below in app.manifest.

According to the WindowsAppSDK issue, It seems the UIAccess doesn’t work.
Hi,

Please provide a solution/technique to develop the overlay using the WinUI3.
I'm afraid there are no. But you can try to see whether it is fixed or not.
Hi
Could you please share the sample project which uses compactoverlay presenter or overlapped presenter.
For C++ WinUI3 project, Adding UIAccess manifest file is the same way as normal C++ project.
Benefitted from your another question, You can SetPresenter CompactOverlayPresenter in order to create an "always on top" window except It is a fixed size window, with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
