Yes, you can write a component in any language as long as its public interface is entirely WinRT types. But things like SpriteBatch and BasicEffect are not WinRT types, so if you build DirectXTK into a WINRT component, what would its public API be? There'd be nothing to left to expose, which doesn't seem like a very interesting component :-)

I see. My understanding was that you could build a Component as long as it doesn't publicly expose any not-WinRT types. I'll dig this further.

DirectXTK can be used from a C++ WinRT app, but it is a native C++ API, not a WinRT interface.

Can it be build as a Windows Runtime Component?

Hi, Shawn,

Is there any sample code for using the library? Thanks.
