What I mean is I want a XAML Universal app that is created the traditional way but I want to have a section that is Unity. Can that be done ? How is communication handled between the XAML app and Unity ? Anyone doing something like this ?
Hey, yes it’s possible, for communication check http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/windowsstore-examples.html
XAMLUnityConnectionV6.zip it was done for Windows SDK 8.1, but you can easily convert it for Universal apps.
Unity is rendered inside SwapChainPanel, you can resize it as you wish, the only drawback, you can only have one Unity window.
Ok. thanks. Ill give that a try.
nope didn’t work

Try building Universal project from Editor, and then copy pieces of sources from that example, I don’t think converting that example to Universal Windows Platform project would work.
Ok. I am not sure which pieces to copy first and would love a walk through… But Ill give it a try
Did you solve the problem? I want to know how you solve it.thank you
