Description

Hi,

I might be wrong but it seems there are actually quite a few C++/WinRT examples available for WinUI. It would be really nice if we had a small C++/WinRT example for main controls (button, list view,...).

Thanks John

Research direction
Examine the existing documentation and samples in the repository, particularly the 'docs' and 'samples' folders. Identify which controls already have C++/WinRT examples and which are missing. Look at the XAML Controls Gallery app for reference. Prepare a list of controls and then create minimal examples following the style of existing ones.
