Remarks

In Windows 8, user interactions with the edges of the screen display system UI such as app bars, charms, and running apps.

For full-screen, remote applications, this UI behavior on the local machine might override and interfere with the UI of the remote session. This property enables an application to disable the edge UI on the local machine.

To disable edge UI, set this property to VARIANT_TRUE. The default value is VARIANT_FALSE.

This property has no effect on Windows Store apps.

The following example shows how to set edge UI behaviors.

HRESULT SetTouchDisableProperty(HWND hwnd, BOOL fDisableTouch)
{
    IPropertyStore* pPropStore;
    HRESULT hrReturnValue = SHGetPropertyStoreForWindow(hwnd, IID_PPV_ARGS(&pPropStore));
    if (SUCCEEDED(hrReturnValue))
    {
        PROPVARIANT var;
        var.vt = VT_BOOL;
        var.boolVal = fDisableTouch ? VARIANT_TRUE : VARIANT_FALSE;
        hrReturnValue = pPropStore->SetValue(PKEY_EdgeGesture_DisableTouchWhenFullscreen, var);
        pPropStore->Release();
    }
    return hrReturnValue;
}
