Electron Share UI

This sample opens the Windows Share UI for an Electron BrowserWindow. It uses:

• the standard electron-vite main/preload/renderer TypeScript project structure;
• Classic COM IDataTransferManagerInterop to associate sharing with the Electron HWND;
• projectAs(raw, DataTransferManager) to project the returned WinRT object; and
• generated DataRequested, DataPackage.properties.title, and DataPackage.setText() APIs.

The sample explicitly releases every owned native value. The raw COM result is released immediately after projectAs, temporary event objects are released after the request is populated, and the event subscription, projected manager, and interop object are released when the window closes.

Run

Build the local JavaScript binding once from the repository root:

cd bindings\js
npm install
npm run build

Then generate the bindings and start Electron:

cd samples\js\electron-share-ui
npm install
npm run generate
npm run dev

Classic COM generation needs Windows.Win32.winmd. The script uses $env:DYNWINRT_WIN32_WINMD when set, otherwise it searches the local Microsoft.Windows.SDK.Win32Metadata NuGet package cache.
