LauncherOptions Class

Definition

Specifies the options used to launch the default app for a file or URI.

In a desktop app, before using an instance of this class in a way that displays UI, you'll need to associate the object with its owner's window handle. For more info, and code examples, see Display WinRT UI objects that depend on CoreWindow.

Constructors

LauncherOptions()

Creates and initializes a new instance of the launcher options object.

In a desktop app, before using an instance of this class in a way that displays UI, you'll need to associate the object with its owner's window handle. For more info, and code examples, see Display WinRT UI objects that depend on CoreWindow.

Properties

ContentType

Gets or sets the content type that is associated with a URI that represents a file on the network.

DesiredRemainingView

Launch a target app and have the currently running source app remain on the screen by sharing the space equally with the target app or by taking up more or less space than the target app.

DisplayApplicationPicker

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether to display the Open With dialog whenever the association launching API is called.

FallbackUri

Gets or sets a value that represents a URI that the user should be taken to in the browser if no app exists to handle the file type or URI.

IgnoreAppUriHandlers

Indicates whether to ignore handlers that can handle http(s) schemes (such as browsers). Instead, launch will fall back to the default browser.

LimitPickerToCurrentAppAndAppUriHandlers

Gets or sets whether to limit the picker for the launcher to the current app and its associated URI handlers.

NeighboringFilesQuery

Enables an app to access files that are related to the file used to activate the app.

Gets or sets a value that represents the display name of the app in the store that the user should install if no app exists to handle the file type or URI.

PreferredApplicationPackageFamilyName

Gets or sets a value that represents the package family name of the app in the Store that the user should install if no app exists to handle the file type or URI.

TargetApplicationPackageFamilyName

The package family name of the target package that should be used to launch a file or URI. This property is optional.
