  • How to Convert Desktop Apps to Universal Windows Platform Apps with Desktop Bridge
    How to convert desktop apps to Universal Windows Platform apps with Desktop Bridge If you're looking to bring your traditional app to the Universal Windows Platform, this guide walks you through the steps to use the DesktopAppConverter to convert your app. On Windows 10, Microsoft is not only adding new features and making the operating system more secure, but it's also investing on making the Windows Store the single place for users to acquire apps. The caveat with the Windows Store is that it doesn't include support for distribution of traditional desktop applications -- you're only able to download Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. However, Microsoft is making some changes, and now thanks to Desktop Bridge, we're slowly starting to see desktop apps and tools available in the Store. What's Desktop Bridge? How does Desktop Bridge works? Things you need before converting an app How to prepare your computer to convert apps How to convert desktop apps into Windows Store apps How to install a converted app on Windows 10 What's Desktop Bridge? It's all part of an initiative called Project Centennial, which now you know as Desktop Bridge. The new approach is essentially a "bridge" that let developers take traditional desktop applications and convert them into Universal Windows Platform (modern) apps. The idea behind Desktop Bridge is that great apps take time and effort, and if they're already working, Microsoft doesn't want you to abandon that code. With Desktop Bridge, you can take your existing desktop application (Win32, WPF, and Windows Forms), make a little modification (if necessary), and bring that great code to the new platform, which can also take advantage of many new features.

  • The Control Panel and Settings in Windows 10 Most Programs and Apps Have Settings Specific to That Program
    GGCS Introduction to Windows 10 Part 3: The Control Panel and Settings in Windows 10 Most programs and apps have settings specific to that program. For example, in a word processor such as Microsoft Word there are settings for margins, fonts, tabs, etc. If you have another word processor, it can have different settings for margins, fonts, etc. These specific settings only affect one program. The settings in the Control Panel and in Settings are more general and affect the whole computer and peripherals such as the mouse, keyboard, monitor and printers. For example, if you switch the right and left buttons on the mouse in the Control Panel or in Settings, they are switched for everything you click on. If you change the resolution of the monitor, it is changed for the desktop, menus, Word, Internet Explorer and Edge, etc. How to display the Control Panel 1. Right-click the Windows Start button or press the Windows key on the keyboard + X. 2. Click “Control Panel” on the popup menu as shown in the first screen capture. In Windows 10, many of the settings that once were in the Control Panel have moved to Settings. However, there are often links in Settings that take you back to the Control Panel and many other settings that still only exist in the Control Panel. Settings versus Control Panel is an evolving part of Windows design that started with Windows 8. It is not clear at this time whether the Control Panel will eventually go away or whether it will simply be used less frequently by most users.
