6. Easy for users to get & stay current Unified core and app platform The Convergence Journey Windows 10 Converged OS kernel Converged app model
7. Universal Windows Platform
8. Wherever your code was born, you can bring it to Windows Xbox IoT Universal Windows Platform Middleware Platforms Middleware Partners (e.g., Xamarin) Game Engine Partners (e.g., Unity) Windows Platform Universal Windows 8 Apps (C++/C#/JS) Universal Windows 10 Apps (C++/C#/JS) Project Centennial (Classic Apps) Web Platform Microsoft Edge HTML Engine Cordova Tooling (HTML/JS) Hosted Web Apps (HTML/JS) Other Mobile Platforms Project Astoria (Java/C++) Project Islandwood (Objective C/C++)
10. Responsive / Adaptive layouts  Adaptive controls and panels  Use design states to build UI that adapts to available screen space  Universal app UI tooling  Adaptable scaling  Common input handling
12. <Grid> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto"/> <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <Image x:Name="img" …/> <StackPanel Grid.Column="1" …> <TextBlock x:Name="title" …/> <TextBlock x:Name="authors" …/> <TextBlock x:Name="summary" …/> <Button Content="Download" …/> </StackPanel> </Grid> “Traditional” nested panel layout can be challenging for more complex layouts
13. <RelativePanel> <Image x:Name="img" …/> <TextBlock x:Name="title" RelativePanel.RightOf="img" RP.AlignTopWith="img" …/> <TextBlock x:Name="authors" RP.RightOf="img" RP.Below="title" …/> <TextBlock x:Name="summary" RP.RightOf="img" RP.Below="authors" …/> <Button Content="Download" RP.RightOf="img" RP.AlignBottomWithPanel="True" …/> </RelativePanel> Use with Triggers and Setters for more advanced responsive designs Note: RP above should be replaced with RelativePanel (shortened for readability)
16. <VisualState> <!-- VisualState to be triggered when window width is >768 effective pixel--> <VisualState.StateTriggers> <AdaptiveTrigger MinWindowWidth=“769" /> </VisualState.StateTriggers> <VisualState.Setters> <Setter Target="Button1.Content” Value="Wide"/> </VisualState.Setters> </VisualState> <VisualState> <!-- VisualState to be triggered when window width is between 0 to 768 effective pixels--> <VisualState.StateTriggers> <AdaptiveTrigger MinWindowWidth="0" /> </VisualState.StateTriggers> <VisualState.Setters> <Setter Target="Button1.Content” Value=“Narrow"/> </VisualState.Setters> </VisualState>
