Nice! Could you open a Docs PR to add this info to the MediaElement |
Yes I will do that now 😄 |

Is this a correct thing to do though? I honestly don't know hence the question.
I ask primarily because of this https://superuser.com/questions/53935/getting-mac-os-x-applications-to-close-after-last-window-closed/53940#53940 answer.

So, e.g., on Windows the call is new Window(appShell) and on Mac Catalyst it is base.CreateWindow(activationState).
Is this by design that appShell is not passed in? Again honest question.

Looking at this closely I realized it does not support all devices and I have another idea I am working on. I will close this as it not compliant with guidelines for new features. IE, it has not gone through the process of being evaluated and it does not bypass it by being a fix for a bug report. Adding new features that require code maintence and ongoing support should be voted on and go through the approval process. |
