We have win32\C++ app with Desktop Bridge and .winmd library (yes it's library) -- how we can make them friends?

Usual method to add .winmd file like a reference (UWP style) didn't works cause there is no even buttons to do this in win32 project

Based on your description, you are trying to add the .winmd file into the win32\C++ application. This should be done in the win32\C++ project before you package it using desktop bridge and it doesn't seem to be related to desktop bridge and UWP.

For the question about how to add reference for .winmd file. in a win32/C++ project. You might take a look at these documents: Walkthrough: Create and use a static library and Walkthrough: Create and use your own Dynamic Link Library (C++)

Besides, could you please tell me what's the .winmd file that you want to add?

Walkthrough: Create and use your own Dynamic Link Library (C++) <-- but this example about .DLL library with .LIB file! And we have .WINMD, .PRI, .PDB files with library for link to our project!

The library that we want to use is Vungle SDK --> https://publisher.vungle.com/sdk/sdks/windows

I'm sorry to say that the Vungle SDK is a third party library and questions about installing and using Vungle SDK is not supported on Microsoft Q&A. Please ask in Vungle's Official forum about how to use this SDK in a win32/C++ application.

But .winmd and Visual Studio products of MS and question not about Vungle SDK it's about MS technologies -- how make friends win32 project and .windm library?
