Connecting the Windows platform with the beautiful Dart language.

This is project in a very experimental stage

Connecting the Windows platform with the beautiful Dart language. Can be used inside or without flutter application.

Features:

• Not cross-platform. (Windows only)
• Doesn't require c++ (everything is a Dart).

Goals:

Cover the range of low-level windows api by wrapping them in high-level wrappers.

Example

example	description	show
flutter_window_man	The example demonstrates the functionality of Hwnd in flutter app	flutter_win_man.mp4
multi_instance_one_process.dart	Multiple flutter instances in one process	multi_instance_one_thread.mp4
notepad_inside.dart	Placing another program window into a Dart window	notepad_inside.mp4
simple.dart	A simple example of a native window	simple.mp4

win's Issues

FlutterRunner plugin support

Flutter build

win: build [--single] - build a flutter application or pack it into an installer

Power wrapper

FlutterFinder incorrectly searches relative paths of the working directory

Non-fatal error while searching pdb

Dart Engine

Launching Dart from Dart code

System tray wrapper

The basis for this wrapper is here: https://github.com/timsneath/win32/tree/main/example/shell_notify_icon

Using NativeWindow functionality inside a Flutter app

Freeform and transparent NativeWindow support

Using FlutterEngine inside Flutter app

Replace AsyncHwnd.forceSizeUpdate with FlutterDesktopViewControllerForceRedraw

RegEdit wrapper

Rendering of the dragged object

Example:

Rendering.of.the.dragged.object.mp4

Catch wndproc in flutter app

Subtasks:

• Implementation real dragging in flutter_window_man

Use case:

class App extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return WndProc(
      wndproc: (int hwnd, int msg, int wParam, int lParam) {
        switch (msg) {
          case WM_MOUSEMOVE:
            break;

          case WM_CLOSE:
            break;

          case WM_SIZE:
            break;

          case WM_FONTCHANGE:
            break;

          case WM_DPICHANGED:
            break;
        }
      }
    );
  }
}
