ScheduledTileNotification.Id | id property

Gets or sets the unique ID that is used to identify the scheduled tile in the schedule.

Syntax


var id = scheduledTileNotification.id;
scheduledTileNotification.id = id;

Property value

Type: String [JavaScript] | System.String [.NET] | Platform::String [C++]

The notification's identifier. This string is limited to 16 characters.

Remarks

ScheduledTileNotification.tag and ScheduledTileNotification.id serve similar purposes:

The ScheduledTileNotification.tag property is used by Windows to prevent duplicate notification content from appearing in the queue at the same time. It allows the notification to be updated in-place in the queue to prevent it from containing out-of-date information.
The id property identifies the notification in the schedule. This allows the notification to be identified or removed from the schedule.

Examples

The following example, which shows a tile scheduled to display in one hour, includes the use of the Id property to label the scheduled notification.

JavaScript



var Notifications = Windows.UI.Notifications;
var currentTime = new Date();
var seconds = 60;
var dueTime = new Date(currentTime.getTime() + seconds * 60 * 1000);
var idNumber = 123456789;

var tileXml = Notifications.TileUpdateManager.getTemplateContent(Notifications.TileTemplateType.tileWideText09);

// Set up the wide tile text.
var tileTextAttributes = tileXml.getElementsByTagName("text");
tileTextAttributes[0].appendChild(tileXml.createTextNode("This is a scheduled notification"));
tileTextAttributes[1].appendChild(tileXml.createTextNode("Received: " + dueTime.toLocaleTimeString()));

// Set up the square tile text.
var squareTileXml = Notifications.TileUpdateManager.getTemplateContent(Notifications.TileTemplateType.tileSquareText04);
var squareTileTextAttributes = squareTileXml.getElementsByTagName("text");
squareTileTextAttributes[0].appendChild(squareTileXml.createTextNode("This is a scheduled notification"));

// Include the square tile in the notification.
var node = tileXml.importNode(squareTileXml.getElementsByTagName("binding").item(0), true);
tileXml.getElementsByTagName("visual").item(0).appendChild(node);

// Create the notification object.
var futureTile = new Notifications.ScheduledTileNotification(tileXml, dueTime);
futureTile.id = "Tile" + idNumber;

// Add to the schedule.
Notifications.TileUpdateManager.createTileUpdaterForApplication().addToSchedule(futureTile);
