| ## Generate Rust bindings for Windows |
| |
| The [windows-bindgen](https://crates.io/crates/windows-bindgen) crate automatically generates Rust bindings from Windows metadata. |
| |
| * [Getting started](https://kennykerr.ca/rust-getting-started/) |
| * [Samples](https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs/tree/0.58.0/crates/samples) |
| * [Releases](https://github.com/microsoft/windows-rs/releases) |
| |
| Start by adding the following to your Cargo.toml file: |
| |
| ```toml |
| [dependencies.windows-targets] |
| version = "0.52" |
| |
| [dev-dependencies.windows-bindgen] |
| version = "0.58" |
| ``` |
| |
| Generates Rust bindings in a build script or test as needed: |
| |
| ```rust,no_run |
| #[test] |
| fn bindgen() { |
| let args = [ |
| "--out", |
| "src/bindings.rs", |
| "--config", |
| "flatten", |
| "--filter", |
| "Windows.Win32.System.SystemInformation.GetTickCount", |
| ]; |
| |
| windows_bindgen::bindgen(args).unwrap(); |
| } |
| |
| mod bindings; |
| |
| fn main() { |
| unsafe { |
| println!("{}", bindings::GetTickCount()); |
| } |
| } |
| ``` |
