InteropCompositor? What is this?
Remember Windows.UI.Composition.Compositor in UWP apps? That’s InteropCompositor.
Ok enough, so what is different from a normal “Compositor”? You can cast that into IDCompositionDesktopDevice. And create InteropVisuals (IDCompositionVisual that can be castable into Windows.UI.Composition.Visual).
Have you ever wondered how DWM Thumbnails were so buttery smooth on Windows 8 and newer when making animations/transitions (in the shell)?
The easiest way to restart Windows Explorer shell is… sending a TerminateProcess with “2” as exit code.

HANDLE h_explorer; h_explorer = OpenProcess(PROCESS_TERMINATE, false, pid); TerminateProcess(h_explorer, 2); CloseHandle(h_explorer); |
For clarity, in this context the word “band” means group of z-orders
Really, it’s not that interesting, it is just to have a first blog post. 😛
