Windows ML Model Catalog allows apps or libraries to dynamically discover and download large AI model files from your own online model catalogs.
InputUnderlyingWindowController allows callers to specify the HWND that will receive the input messages originally directed to a ContentIsland created from a SystemVisual
SystemBackdropHost provides XAML-compatible approach to placing a system backdrop anywhere within an application's visual tree.
PopupAnchor now allows DesktopPopupSiteBridge to support relative positioning by anchoring to its owning window or island.
The latest Storage.Pickers update streamlines file and folder selection by letting developers set initial and persistent folder locations, and by grouping filetype filters with clear labels for easier navigation.
WrapPanel allows arranging child elements in a sequential position from left to right, items overflowing the line will break to the next line automatically.
