Windows 10 SDK Preview Build 16190 Released

Today, we released a new Windows 10 Preview Build of the SDK to be used in conjunction with Windows 10 Insider Preview (Build 16190 or greater). The Preview SDK Build 16190 contains bug fixes and under development changes to the API surface area.

The Preview SDK can be downloaded from developer section on Windows Insider.

For feedback and updates to the known issues, please see the developer forum. For new feature requests, head over to our Windows Platform UserVoice.

Things to note:

This build works in conjunction with previously released SDKs and Visual Studio 2017. You can install this SDK and still also continue to submit your apps that target Windows 10 Creators build or earlier to the store.
The Windows SDK will now formally only be supported by Visual Studio 2017 and greater. You can download the Visual Studio 2017 here.

What’s New

This release of the Windows 10 SDK Preview Build, we have introduced the following new controls: NavigationView, TreeView, RatingsControl, ColorPicker, ParallaxView and PersonPicture to the Windows.UI.XAML.Controls namespace. It also adds brushes for Acrylic and Reveal, part of the Fluent Design System. See also the new XAML Controls Gallery in the Windows Universal Samples collection.

See API Updates and Additions for additional APIs.

Known Issue

Failed to compile WRL projects due to missing WindowsContracts.h

When building WRL projects, your code may fail to compile due to a missing file: WindowsContracts.h. This will be addressed in the next update. To work around this, create an empty header file: WindowsContracts.H and include it in your include Search path.

Breaking Changes

WinRT type header generation moving from MIDL to MIDLRT

Header generation for WinRT types is moving from being generated by the MIDL tool to the MIDLRT tool. This change will enable significant performance enhancements and will also enable a number of new features.

The most common issue developers are likely to encounter is the addition of deprecation support to the generated WinRT headers. With this change, if you consume a deprecated API, the C++ compiler will now generate a warning indicating that your code is accessing a deprecated type.

Consider the following when evaluating how your code will be impacted:

The WinMDIDL tool used to emit cpp_quote directives to work around a MIDL header generation limitation. Those cpp_quote directives are incompatible with the new header generation logic and need to be removed (or the IDL file needs to be regenerated).
WinRT types that are marked as [deprecated] are now also marked as [[deprecated]] in the generated C++ headers. This means that you may encounter C4996 warnings indicating that you are accessing a deprecated type. To resolve this issue, you can define DISABLE_WINRT_DEPRECATION in the preprocessor definitions for your project to ignore the deprecations.

Windows Runtime enumeration definitions are now compliant with C++ standard

To further align Visual C++ with the ISO standard for C++, enumerations for Windows Runtime types are now standards-compliant. If you develop software with the Windows 10 SDK, this change might affect you.

Specifically, variables in operations with enumerations that are marked as flags must be cast as unsigned integers. An operation that uses a signed integer with an enumeration constant will result in a compiler error, because enumeration constants are now unsigned integers. The affected enumerations are flags enumerations supplied by the SDK and enumerations that you cast with the [flags] attribute.


GamePadReading-&amp;gt;get_Buttons(&amp;amp;NewButtonMask);
 
for(int index=0;index&amp;lt;32;index++)
{
int bit = 1 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; index;
if( ((NewButtonMask &amp;amp; bit) == bit) &amp;amp;&amp;amp; ((CurrentButtonMask &amp;amp; bit) != bit))
{
JustPressedButtonMask |= (GamepadButtons)bit;

However, because this code relies on GamepadButtons, which has the attribute System.FlagsAttribute, bit must instead be cast as unsigned:


unsigned int bit = 1 &amp;lt;&amp;lt; index;

API Updates and Additions

When targeting new APIs, consider writing your app to be adaptive in order to run correctly on the widest number of Windows 10 devices. Please see Dynamically detecting features with API contracts (10 by 10) for more information.
