从 C# .net 框架 4.7.2 与 Microsoft.Windows.SDK.Contracts 一起使用 FileOpenPicker 时出现“无效窗口句柄”错误，没有 UWP

Question

I am trying to use Microsoft.Windows.SDK.Contracts to access the Windows10 API from .net framework WFP application. I want to use the FileOpenPicker() to select the image for OCR processing by Windows.Media.Ocr. But I met the 'Invalid window handle' error when using the picker

I found a post which met the similar a link issue with C++/WinRT. One of the answer point out " The program will crash because the FileOpenPicker looks for a CoreWindow on the current thread to serve as the owner of the dialog. But we are a Win32 desktop app without a CoreWindow." I think the root cause is the same. But I don't know how to fix from the my code based on .net framework side.

public async void Load()
{
    var picker = new FileOpenPicker()
    {
        SuggestedStartLocation = PickerLocationId.PicturesLibrary,
        FileTypeFilter = { ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".png", ".bmp" },
    };

    var file = await picker.PickSingleFileAsync();
    if (file != null)
    {

    }
    else
    {

    }
}

Error message: System.Exception: 'Invalid window handle.(Exception from HRESULT:0x80070578)'

Create a file with:

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace <standardnamespace>
{
    [ComImport]
    [Guid("3E68D4BD-7135-4D10-8018-9FB6D9F33FA1")]
    [InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown)]
    public interface IInitializeWithWindow
    {
        void Initialize(IntPtr hwnd);
    }
}

change your code to:

public async void Load()
{
    var picker = new FileOpenPicker()
    {
        SuggestedStartLocation = PickerLocationId.PicturesLibrary,
        FileTypeFilter = { ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".png", ".bmp" },
    };

    ((IInitializeWithWindow)(object)picker).Initialize(System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainWindowHandle);    

    var file = await picker.PickSingleFileAsync();
    if (file != null)
    {

    }
    else
    {

    }
}
