Qt with WinRT C++ build issue

[Cobra91151]

Hello!

I want to build a modern Windows application using WinRT (Windows 10). I use Qt 5.13.1 UWP kits for Visual Studio 2017. When building a project, it displays a lot of compilation errors:

Code:

testproject.pro

QT += core gui

greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets

CONFIG += c++17

# The following define makes your compiler emit warnings if you use
# any Qt feature that has been marked deprecated (the exact warnings
# depend on your compiler). Please consult the documentation of the
# deprecated API in order to know how to port your code away from it.
DEFINES += QT_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS

# You can also make your code fail to compile if it uses deprecated APIs.
# In order to do so, uncomment the following line.
# You can also select to disable deprecated APIs only up to a certain version of Qt.
#DEFINES += QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0x060000    # disables all the APIs deprecated before Qt 6.0.0

SOURCES += \
    main.cpp \
    testproject.cpp

HEADERS += \
    testproject.h

FORMS += \
    testproject.ui

LIBS += -lwindowsapp

# Default rules for deployment.
#qnx: target.path = /tmp/$${TARGET}/bin
#else: unix:!android: target.path = /opt/$${TARGET}/bin
#!isEmpty(target.path): INSTALLS += target

testproject.h

#ifndef TESTPROJECT_H
#define TESTPROJECT_H

#include <QDialog>
#include <QDebug>
#include "winrt/Windows.System.Diagnostics.h"
using namespace winrt;
using namespace Windows::System::Diagnostics;

QT_BEGIN_NAMESPACE
namespace Ui { class TestProject; }
QT_END_NAMESPACE

class TestProject : public QDialog
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    TestProject(QWidget *parent = nullptr);
    ~TestProject();

private:
    Ui::TestProject *ui;
};
#endif // TESTPROJECT_H

testproject.cpp

#include "testproject.h"
#include "ui_testproject.h"

TestProject::TestProject(QWidget *parent)
    : QDialog(parent)
    , ui(new Ui::TestProject)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    init_apartment();

    auto info = SystemDiagnosticInfo::GetForCurrentSystem();
    auto memory = info.MemoryUsage().GetReport().TotalPhysicalSizeInBytes();
    qDebug() << memory;
}

TestProject::~TestProject()
{
    delete ui;
}

Without WinRT code it compiles successfully. Any ideas how to fix these issues? Thanks.

Also, I have tried to set a color for the titlebar:

auto titleBar = ApplicationView::GetForCurrentView()->TitleBar;
titleBar->BackgroundColor = ColorHelper::FromArgb(211, 211, 211, 211);
titleBar->ButtonBackgroundColor = ColorHelper::FromArgb(211, 211, 211, 211);

But these issues still exists:

I think something is missing using Qt, because the same project complies successfully using Visual Studio 2017 / 2019.

I tried to run @Chris-Kawa example from here: https://forum.qt.io/topic/68670/how-can-i-use-winrt-c-apis-in-at-qt-winrt-app/13

It returns the following issues:

Any ideas how to configure WinRT using Qt? What libraries are required for Qt to run WinRT code? Thanks in advance.

I have fixed the issue by adding #undef X64 before #include "winrt/Windows.System.Diagnostics.h". For some reason this define conflicts with the ProcessorArchitecture::X64 enum in Windows.System.0.h as stated by VVV user from: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58436766/qt-with-winrt-c-build-issue/58440774#58440774. The issue is resolved.
