Properties

The LaunchActivatedEventArgs class has these properties.

Property	Access type	Description
Arguments	Read-only	Gets the arguments that are passed to the app during its launch activation.
Kind	Read-only	Gets the reason that this app is being activated.
PreviousExecutionState	Read-only	Gets the execution state of the app before this activation.
SplashScreen	Read-only	Gets the splash screen object that provides information about the transition from the splash screen to the activated app.
TileId	Read-only	Gets the ID of the source that was invoked to launch the application.

Remarks

This object is accessed when you respond to Activated events when ActivationKind is Launch.

Windows Store apps built for Windows using C++, C#, or Visual Basic typically implement activation points by overriding methods of the Application object. The default template app.xaml code-behind files always include an override for OnLaunched. The default implementation includes initial navigation support and state management through the SuspensionManager helper class.

All Application overrides involved in an activation scenario should call Window.Activate in their implementations.

Avoid performing tasks during launch if they could significantly increase the time required to launch your app. Instead, you can trigger additional loading tasks by listening for the SplashScreen.Dismissed event.

The activation deferral object should not be used to complete complex tasks during activation. Any unhandled errors or exceptions that occur during activation (including deferred activation) will cause the app to crash. If you need to perform network calls or process a number of additional files during activation, consider launching your app to an extended splash screen and then performing these operations. For more information, see How to display a splash screen for an extended time.

Important Apps that require an excessive amount of time to launch may be terminated by the system.

When testing your app, be aware that immediately reactivating an app that has just been terminated will result in a failed activation if the splash screen is still visible.

JavaScript launch completion

If programming with JavaScript, launch is complete when your activated event handler returns successfully after executing your launch tasks.

.NET launch completion

If programming with C#, VB, or C++, launch is complete when you activate an app window.
