Where can i find the C++/CX Hilo demo app?

Question

We have an app written in C++/CX that we continue to support. Several years ago I found a Microsoft sample app in C++/CX that was named Hilo. This was quite a nice sample, but it seems to have disappeared from the Microsoft support sites and from git and CodePlex.

I understand that C++/CX is an obsolete technology, and it may be too expensive to maintain the app so it runs on current versions of Windows. But there were many good code patterns used and I would love to have the source code, even if the whole app cannot be built and run.

Can someone point me to a copy of the source? There was also a very helpful set of documentation pages too.

These links used to work:
https://archive.codeplex.com/?p=hilo

and
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/samples/browse/?redirectedfrom=MSDN-samples&languages=cppcx

Thanks!

Answer 1

The last sample I had downloaded was from VS 2015 samples :

VCSamples/VC2015Samples/Hilo/C++/

but the C++/CX version seems this one :
VCSamples/VC2012Samples/Windows 8 samples/C++/Windows 8 app samples/Hilo C++ sample (Windows 8)/C++/Hilo/

Answer 2

Try here - Hilo and also Hilo (updated for Visual Studio 2013)

Hi,

As far as I'm concerned, you could refer to the link:
