#winrt #midi is still a total disaster. Unable to enumerate device names properly, substituting "MIDI" instead sometimes, most DAWs are virtually impossible to use with this bug not fixed because you can't tell the difference between all the devices called "MIDI". This bug has been open 6 years... back to MME I go.

Does anyone know if either current versions of #VisualStudio are still able to target #WindowsRT (#Windows8), or older versions of #VS are still obtainable??
It's been ages, but I think I still know how to build something #WinRT so I can get this museumpiece a second life as a speech assistant for my #Parkinsons disabled dad.
#SurfaceRT #dev #windev

I put together some script/repo templates to make it super easy to create a repo on #github that produces a #WinRT component implemented in C++, and creates a #NuGet package for it so that apps can easily consume it. Think of it as a generator for a "repo for a library".
