Windows Platform Embedder

This code is the glue between the Flutter engine and the Windows platform. It is responsible for:

  1. Launching the Flutter engine.
  2. Providing a view for the Flutter engine to render into.
  3. Dispatching events to the Flutter engine.

For more information on embedders, see the Flutter architectural overview.

Caution

This is a best effort attempt to document the Windows embedder. It is not guaranteed to be up to date or complete. If you find a discrepancy, please send a pull request!
