Render XPS Document

Question
-
I want to render XPS documents in my c++ Metro-Style app. I looked into the spec. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd316975%28v=vs.85%29.aspx) and on the Internet and could only find managed code solutions (via DocumentPage). The native APIs/samples only cover how one modifies and prints the documents.
Is there any way to "display" (render to screen) a XPS in Windows ?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,
I just found some COM API for XPS document for Metro style App, and the XPS Document Interfaces contains most of them. I hope this document can help you:

Hi Paul,
What sort of application are you writing? There is no Windows.UI.Xaml way to render an XPS (similar to WPF's System.Windows.Document classes).
In a Direct2D app you could use the XPS Document interfaces that you and Jesse referenced to iterate the OM and render them yourself, but I don't believe there is a more direct way to render the XPS.
If you have an XPS file then you can launch it in its default viewer with LaunchDefaultProgramForFile.
