About this tag
Header files are a fundamental part of C++ development on Windows, especially when working with the Windows Runtime (WinRT).

Discussions on WindowsForum.com cover how header files streamline access to WinRT objects, automatic reference counting, and integration with Visual Studio. Understanding header files is essential for developers building UWP apps or traditional desktop applications that leverage WinRT APIs, as they bridge C++ code with Windows runtime components.
