How can one invoke Windows 8 charmbar from a wpf application.
I know this can be done by simulating the key stroke such as win + c from application but the problem is the the same combination is used to hide the charmbar.
I have a wpf application that has a button named show charmbar but the problem is if the same button is clicked when already the charmbar is open it acts as a guide charmbar .
Or else could some body guide me on how tho get the visibility of charmbar. Such as at a given moment is the charmbar visible or not.
The truth is a charmbar cannot be opened programatically in metro app development
for metro you can access various charms menu like settings share.
Here's a full sample for that
metro charms
But for c# wpf app
Heres a SO answer and I guess it works :)
open charms c#
take a look. :)

I want to load the windows on-screen keyboard as part of my application (like importing some dlls or something), not with Process.Start(). Just like this article explained - https://blog.tombam.net/implementing-textbox-with-on-screen-touch-keyboard-part-1/ . Only this solution doesn't work for me (the keyboard doesn't pop-up when clicked on the textbox). Is there another way? Or does anybody know what to do with the project that's in the link to make it work?
Thank you for the help in advance :)
I am creating a Windows universal app but can't find out how to create a menu like you can find in the groove music app on windows phone 10.
You can create menus like these with the Splitview control. It was introduced with Windows 10. See Docs here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.xaml.controls.splitview.aspx
Little hint: The Button on the upper left to show and hide the menu is not part of the Splitview control and has to be created manually.
You can find this Menu in several samples including mine on github:

Take a look at this awesome tutorial from Jerry Nixon:

I've seen several post regarding custom 'task' being added to WPF applications but I haven't found a compatible way to do this in Windows Forms.
Note: I'm not referring to the system notification tray.
For example, if you right click Google Chrome icon in the Windows 7 Taskbar you'll see a menu like this:
I want to do the same thing in a C# Windows Forms Application. Is it possible or does it have to be in WPF?
I just came late to the party. There is a feature called 'Jumplists' which would helps you to add a new taskbar feature on right clicking the application icon: Go through the tutorial

I am working on a new WPF application.. and I need to show a notification area icon for it..
in windows forms I used to use notifyicon class but that is not supported in WPF...
so can you help me do that...
thank you...
You need to implement your own control. Here's a control I used a while ago.
I want my application (written in c#) which needs to run on Windows 7 and show an icon in the notification area. The default is "only show notification" I my icon to be shown by default. looking for the api in c# or to wite a script for this.
If there's no direct way to do this is there any overriding way?
I believe it is by design the Windows 7 doesnt let you do this programmatically.
Could you not do something on the main TaskBar using the Windows API Code Pack?
