Remarks

WindowsXamlManager is part of the Windows App SDK XAML hosting API. This API enables non-WASDK desktop applications to host any control that derives from Microsoft.UI.Xaml.UIElement in a UI element that is associated with a window handle (HWND). This API can be used by desktop applications built using WPF, Windows Forms, and the Windows API (Win32).

Changes from WinAppSDK 1.4 to WinAppSDK 1.5

WinAppSDK 1.4 WinAppSDK 1.5 and later
The XAML runtime shuts down asynchronously on a thread when all the WindowsXamlManager and DesktopWindowXamlSource objects on that thread have been closed or destroyed, or the DispatcherQueue running on that thread is shut down. The XAML runtime shuts down on a thread only when the DispatcherQueue on the thread shuts down.
WindowsXamlManager.InitializeForCurrentThread returns a new object each time it is called. WindowsXamlManager.InitializeForCurrentThread returns the same WindowsXamlManager instance until the DispatcherQueue on the thread shuts down.
