Devices and sensors

  • Článek

This article provides an index of development features that are related to scenarios involving devices and sensors in Windows apps.

Note

The Windows App SDK currently does not provide APIs related to devices and sensors scenarios.

Windows OS features

Windows 10 and later OS releases provide a wide variety of APIs related to data and files scenarios for apps. These features are available via a combination of WinRT and Win32 (C++ and COM) APIs provided by the Windows SDK.

WinRT APIs

The following articles provide information about features available via WinRT APIs provided by the Windows SDK.
