Winui 3
Closed this issue · 13 comments
Wondering if you plan on introducing a Winui 3 set?
Would be very welcome
Hello. Did you mean a package for WinUI or some set of WinUI styled icons?
A set of material icons we can use in winui 3
It's should probably covered by this project: https://github.com/CastelloBrancoTecnologia/Material.Icons.UNO/
@SKProCH Im using WinAppSDK, Material.Icons.Uno is for Uno -> WinUI 3
WinAppSDK/WinUI 3 is gaining a bit of traction now, I have no clue how to go about this so relying on more of an expert in the font field
Sorry, I can't fully get your point. Uno is just basically WinUI3 as far as I understand it. And also WinUI3 is a part of WinAppSDK. And you want a library for the WinAppSDK, so why is the Uno (WinUI) variant not suitable for you?
I just don't fully understand all this MS's zoo of UI frameworks.
Here is a minimal GitHub project showing the issue
I appreciate it isnt your repo as such but it demonstrates the issue
Seems like I can't build your project:
dotnet build
MSBuild version 17.8.3+195e7f5a3 for .NET

Looks like this issue: microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml#8871
Probably you need to address this issue on the Material.Icons.Uno repository. In fact, the library for Uno/WinUI is located in a different repository, because I couldn't build the library for Uno/WinUI that was offered to me. Details and logs can be read here #26
I would really like to help, but apparently I won’t be able - all of Microsoft’s attempts at UI frameworks after WPF have such shitty cursed tooling that it’s naturally impossible to use them. Sorry.
You would need to be on VS 2022 or VS Code (not sure about rider or other IDE's) & on a windows PC for the project to compile & run.
No worries tho I understand if its not your usual stack. Appreciate you trying to help 👍
Can't manage VS Code to work properly - same error as just dotnet build. Forced to install VS, and seems like finally able to compile the project. Such awful developing experience! Require VS installing to just build project - not surprised why all these UI frameworks failed to get community love.
After commenting the button reference in code behind to fix the
The name 'myButton' does not exist in the current contex
After that I've getting this exception:
Type universe cannot resolve assembly: Uno.UI, Version=255.255.255.255
Is this exception what you experience?
After a bit of googling seems like fix described here:
https://platform.uno/docs/articles/uno-community-toolkit.html?tabs=tabid-winui#referencing-the-windows-community-toolkit-from-a-cross-targeted-library
Probably the problem is in <PackageReference Include="Uno.WinUI" Version="5.0.48" /> which should be conditionally imported as stated in link above.
Sorry for the late reply
I don't see those errors you are getting, did you install the desktop workloads for VS 2022?
In Mainwindow if you comment out <icons:MaterialIcon ... it should build and run ok.
Here is the error I'm seeing
Yep, seems like this is similar error. When I'm removing the element app will start fine.
Here is my errors:
Still think what conditional importing should help.
Experimenting with the namespace but get a slightly different error
This is because icons2 refer to main library Material.Icons which doesn't contains any controls - just icons data.
Still think that this issues should be resolved in Material.Icons.Uno repository using this Uno guide: https://platform.uno/docs/articles/uno-community-toolkit.html?tabs=tabid-winui#referencing-the-windows-community-toolkit-from-a-cross-targeted-library
There is nothing what I can do on my side.
