My attempts to use data binding with MenuFlyout https://albertakhmetov.com/posts/2026/menu-flyout-and-data-binding/ #winui

This looks promising.

Most of my Linux machine have Windows OEM licenses still in their firmware anyway.

That should probably be better than Wine for trying to get WPF, WinUI, or Maui apps running.

And might maske Windows Rider development easier on a Linux box.

🦙📢 #WinUI #XAML Adorners packages from #WindowsCommunityToolkitLabs now available on NuGet to try out! 🎉🎉🎉

#WinUI #XAML Adorners + drag manipulation was a bit harder but working alright... some interactions and scenarios which need more work, but happy with this for now. 😈 #WindowsDev #WindowsCommunityToolkitLabs

🦙 #WindowsDev played more w/ #WinUI #XAML Adorners in #WindowsCommunityToolkitLabs. Needs more testing, but promising start based off code mostly already in the WCT 8.0 Sizer controls!

🦙 #WindowsDev just been reviving my experiment bringing #XAML based Adorners to #WinUI in #WindowsCommunityToolkitLabs. Coming soon™, quick to make Adorners with data binding, styling, and animations with all that XAML goodness! 🦙 https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Labs-Windows/pull/760
