Hi,
I am building a WinUI3 desktop application where I am looking for notifications. I have tried out the App Notifications which are part of Windows App SDK but I am currently looking into Badge Notifications.
So, I found this Badge Notification Class API. But this API is part of UWP. So, can we use UWP APIs to build WinUI3 applications?
Thanks.
There were discussions on GitHub : https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/1919 https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK/issues/3928 (I had used ITaskbarList3 on Windows 10...)
I have gone through the links that you have shared @Castorix31 . Just to restate using UWP APIs in WinUI3 is causing some problems. However the best approach in this scenario would be using the ITaskbarList3 which is COM. Right?
From MSDN docs : https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-dev-docs/blob/docs/hub/apps/desktop/modernize/desktop-to-uwp-supported-api.md#apis-that-require-package-identity it should work in a packaged app (MSIX) (I only tested in a normal Desktop app where badge did not work on Taskbar button)
We are looking for unpackaged applications. Even I tried the UWP API that didn't work.
