Window

As explained in .NET MAUI in Action

A window is a .NET MAUI top-level display container that hosts a page and can be opened as an application window.

How .NET MAUI in Action covers it

How deep it goes

Explains page hosting and demonstrates construction, sizing, titling, and opening, but does not detail window lifecycle management.

Examples

What it assumes
