I was reading this thread and noticed it seems like there is a lot of misinformation so decided I would spend a couple minutes explaining Windows 10 as best I can. I’m just now getting back into development and trying to decide what is the best technology to start learning...
Windows 10 is not just a new Windows 7. Microsoft has essentially created a platform (The Universal Windows Platform, or UWP to be exact) that allows the development community to create applications that run across all windows-based devices, including phones, tablets, PCs, and Xbox. This is called a Windows Universal Application. Windows Universal Applications can query the functionality of the device and target the features of each device (or disable them on devices that don’t have a specific functionality). Windows Universal Applications can be developed in VB.Net, C#, C++, and probably others like HTML5/JavaScript.
There is a fundamental shift in how software is distributed starting with Windows 8, and revised slightly in Windows 10. With Win32/64 and traditional .NET applications, in most cases the user downloads an MSI and runs an install that puts the application in program files and adds a start menu item, and perhaps a desktop shortcut, and modifies the registry to allow for uninstall. Windows Universal Applications are installed in one of two ways. The first way is through the Windows Store. With this method the developer must have a Microsoft Developer Account. It is submitted to the Windows Store, approved by Microsoft, and is available for sale (or free if the developer chooses). The other way that a Windows Universal Application can be deployed is by what is called Side-Loading the application. There is a setting in Windows that allows the user to install Windows Universal Applications outside the Windows Store from arbitrary sources.
Google "Guide to Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps" for a Microsoft introduction...
So as you can see, you can’t just make it look like a Windows 10 application. It would have to utilize all of the new APIs that are used for making Windows Universal Applications. I think that there must be something similar in the Android SDK that allows developers to query for things like touch vs mouse, GPS, etc… These things will first need to integrate into the LCL somehow. I don’t know the first thing about LCL, so perhaps it already has this ability?
Anyhow, hope this helps…
