How can I pin a default live tile programmatically? - c#

I would like to ask the user to pin to start the default live tile when he runs the app for the first time in Windows 10 (Universal Windows Platform).
I know that for a secondaryTile you can use the following code:
var result = await secondaryTile.RequestCreateAsync();
What is the equivalent for a default live tile?

Since this question was asked, there has been a new addition to the UWP API: StartScreenManager in V4 which lets you pin the app's default tile to the start screen. Here is a Command that lets you do it - and is disabled if the tile is already there. It handles the Window Activated event because the user could remove the pinned tile manually:
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Windows.Input;
using Windows.ApplicationModel;
using Windows.Foundation.Metadata;
using Windows.UI.Core;
using Windows.UI.StartScreen;
using Windows.UI.Xaml;
namespace Synergist
{
/// <summary>
/// Pin the first entry in the package's app list to the start screen
/// </summary>
public class PinToStartCommand : ICommand
{
private bool _canExecute;
/// <summary>
/// Initializes a new instance of the PinToStartCommand class.
/// </summary>
public PinToStartCommand()
{
Window.Current.Activated += Current_Activated;
}
/// <summary>
/// Can execute changed event handler
/// </summary>
public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged;
/// <summary>
/// returns true if the StartScreenManager exists
/// </summary>
/// <param name="parameter">the parameter is not used</param>
/// <returns>true if the app is not pinned to the start screen and the API is available</returns>
public bool CanExecute(object parameter)
{
return _canExecute;
}
/// <summary>
/// Pin the app to the start screen
/// </summary>
/// <param name="parameter">the parameter is not used.</param>
public async void Execute(object parameter)
{
if (ApiInformation.IsTypePresent("Windows.UI.StartScreen.StartScreenManager"))
{
var entries = await Package.Current.GetAppListEntriesAsync();
var firstEntry = entries.FirstOrDefault();
if (firstEntry == null)
return;
var startScreenmanager = StartScreenManager.GetDefault();
var containsEntry = await startScreenmanager.ContainsAppListEntryAsync(firstEntry);
if (containsEntry)
return;
if (await startScreenmanager.RequestAddAppListEntryAsync(firstEntry))
{
_canExecute = false;
CanExecuteChanged?.Invoke(this, new EventArgs());
}
}
}
private async void Current_Activated(object sender, WindowActivatedEventArgs e)
{
var entries = await Package.Current.GetAppListEntriesAsync();
var firstEntry = entries.FirstOrDefault();
if (firstEntry == null)
{
_canExecute = false;
return;
}
if (ApiInformation.IsTypePresent("Windows.UI.StartScreen.StartScreenManager"))
{
var startScreenmanager = StartScreenManager.GetDefault();
_canExecute = !await startScreenmanager.ContainsAppListEntryAsync(firstEntry);
CanExecuteChanged?.Invoke(this, new EventArgs());
}
}
}
}

there is no way to pin the default live tile programmatically. you can only pin secondary tiles.
the default tile is always available programmatically but cannot be pinned by the app. only by the user itself from the list of apps.
your best solution is to create a secondary tile and ask to pin that. (would even be better to make the secondary tile to go to a specific area of the app as that is what secondary apps are for)
here is a guide on how to implement the secondary apps and how to pin them: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/xaml/hh868249.aspx

System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException For Kinect

Im currently facing a weird problem with the Microsoft Kinect SDK 2.0 Browser Sample code of Discrete Gesture Basics-WPF
Objective: is to add my own recording of the gesture in filename.gbd into the database and able to extract the gesture inside.
Problem: When i changed the initial name from 'Seated.gbd' to 'RightHandHandsUp.gbd' The error occured below.
However, if i were to rename my 'RightHandHandsUp.gbd' file to 'Seated.gbd' ( the default), it would work. Which is weird, but i suspect there is some binding somewhere in the program but i have already tried searching the entire project for the keyword.
Thanks in advance!!
Error Message:
System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException: ''The invocation of the constructor on type 'Microsoft.Samples.Kinect.DiscreteGestureBasics.MainWindow' that matches the specified binding constraints threw an exception.' Line number '4' and line position '9'.'
With 2 inner exceptions:
InvalidOperationException: This API has returned an exception from an HRESULT: 0x80004005
And
COMException: Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
so in the GestureDetector.cs file where i changed the name of the file.

Much appreciated to all the kind coders out there helping me out!
You can simply store a local variable, like a boolean, and when returning to that page check for the variable value and change radioButtons state accordingly ;)
// these is the namespace of your class
namespace FYPPrototype1
{
// these is the region of your class, where all functions and variables are stored
public sealed partial class SurveyPage2 : Page
{
// these are local variables
private NavigationHelper navigationHelper;
private ObservableDictionary defaultViewModel = new ObservableDictionary();
// this is your class constructor
public SurveyPage2()
{
InitializeComponent();
this.navigationHelper = new NavigationHelper(this);
this.navigationHelper.LoadState += navigationHelper_LoadState;
this.navigationHelper.SaveState += navigationHelper_SaveState;
}
.
.
.
}
}
Now for achieve what you need, you have to do a more complex thing, as you can see you have a load and a save function, that is navigationHelper_LoadState and navigationHelper_SaveState, you can store and load there radioButtons's state ;)
For more understanding on how to manage these functions refer to these page, it explain it quite well ;): http://mtaulty.com/CommunityServer/blogs/mike_taultys_blog/archive/2014/05/23/windows-phone-8-1-frame-page-navigationhelper-suspensionmanager.aspx

NumericUpDown Control should fire ValueChanged Event only on scroll finished

I have a numericUpDown control (Windows Forms).
I want to listen to the ValueChanged event.
I set it in the properties and it works.
But:
I want that i can "scroll" up or down. (If I make this longer it will be faster)
When I'm done with the "scroll", I want that the event xyz is fired now and not during the scrolling.
How can I do that?
Try using the mouseup event. It fires when you take your finger off of the left mouse button, so in theory it should solve your issue.
[Edited by James]
Try this control on your form.

You need to define what is I'm done with the scroll. This could be removing the mouse from the scroll button, or a certain time passed since the last click. In any case, I don't think you can cause the event not to run, but you can do some checks in the event handler. For example:
private DateTime? lastClickTime;
public void MyUpDown_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (lastClickTime != null && DateTime.Now.Subtract(lastClickTime.Value).Seconds > someInterval)
{
// Do the work
}
lastClickTime = DateTime.Now
}
But, as I said, you need first to define what is I'm done. This code is not perfect.
Here's a direct way of approaching the problem:
Just check if a mouse button is being pressed with Control.MouseButtons, like this:
private void numericUpDown1_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//don't update until done scrolling
if (Control.MouseButtons == MouseButtons.None)
{
// Do the work
}
}
Here's how I solved this problem:
A task checks a "valueIsChanging" flag. This flag is set by the ValueChanged event. After this flag stops being set to True by the ValueChanged event, the while loop completes and your code is executed.
Task waitForValueSettleTask;
volatile bool valueIsChanging; // marked volaltile since it is access by multiple threads (the GUI thread, and the task)
private void numericUpDown_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
valueIsChanging = true;
if (waitForValueSettleTask == null || waitForValueSettleTask != null &&
(waitForValueSettleTask.IsCanceled || waitForValueSettleTask.IsCompleted || waitForValueSettleTask.IsFaulted))
{
waitForValueSettleTask = Task.Run(() =>
{
while (valueIsChanging)
{
valueIsChanging = false;
Thread.Sleep(1000); // Set this to whatever settling time you'd like
}
// Your code goes here
});
}
}
