Crate rdi_platform_windows 

Windows Shell/COM backend for rusty-desktop-icons.

This crate provides WindowsBackend, the concrete rdi_core::DesktopBackend driving the real Windows desktop through IFolderView2. Everything unsafe lives here — rdi-core itself forbids unsafe_code.

Usage

use rdi_core::DesktopController;
use rdi_platform_windows::WindowsBackend;

let ctrl = DesktopController::new(WindowsBackend::new())?;
let icons = ctrl.list_icons()?;
println!("{} icons on the desktop", icons.len());

Threading

WindowsBackend initialises COM (STA) lazily on the thread that first calls a DesktopBackend method, which — under normal use — is the engine’s dedicated worker thread. Do not construct two backends on the same thread.

Modules

• ids — hex-encoded UTF-16 identifier scheme (compatible with the legacy Python extension).
• com — IFolderView2 acquisition and caching (crate-private).
• pidl — RAII wrappers for shell-allocated memory (crate-private).
• backend — WindowsBackend itself (crate-private module, type re-exported).
