DirectUI means drawing directly on the parent window (Paint on parent dc directly). That is, the child window is not created in the form of a window handle (windowless), but a logical window, drawn on top of the parent window.

Microsoft's "DirectUI" technology is widely used in Windows XP,Vista,Windows 7, such as TaskPanel on the left side of the browser, control panel navigation interface, Media Player player, instant messaging tool MSN Messager and so on.

XAML is the English abbreviation of eXtensible Application Markup Language, and the corresponding Chinese name is Extensible Application markup language. It is a new descriptive language created by Microsoft to build application user interface.

XAML provides a syntax that is easy to extend and locate to define a user interface that is separate from the program logic, and this implementation is very similar to the "code post" model in ASP.NET. XAML is an analytic language, although it can also be compiled. Its advantage is to simplify the user creation process on the program, to add code and configuration, and so on.
