Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

C++/CX is a language projection for Microsoft's Windows Runtime platform. It takes the form of a language extension for C++ compilers, and it enables C++ programmers to write programs that call Windows Runtime (WinRT) APIs. C++/CX is superseded by the C++/WinRT language projection, which is not an extension to the C++ language; rather, it is an entirely standard modern ISO C++17 header file-based library.
