AppPinManager in UWP Toolkit

hello welcome to all initial Windows programming tutorial at this tutorial I'm going to explain

about how to use the upbeat manager class this class in available in the UWT community toolkit

and one more I make I am the creator of this class what is the use of this class this class

used to add the app in the start start menu or in the taskbar so if you if you

follow that normal we develop people you have to follow so many steps that I

already explained in the task manager class that I released one tutorial you

can go to go to the C sharp corner you can see this tutorial so so many steps

is available now this API will take care of all the things all the steps you just call that

functions only that's it now here you can see this API is this class contain the four

APIs two for a taskbar pin the app in the taskbar and two for the start menu so first one you see

the taskbar I think it's a default it will pin the app so second one is a it's

connecting the argument app list entry this taking which app you want to pin to

the taskbar suppose your package container two or three app list so which

one you want to pin into the taskbar so that information you can pass it the

next one is a start menu API this API used to pin the app in the start menu so

here also you need to pass the app list which app you want to pin it the second

known is start menu API is a you need to pass the user so user based you can pin

it so suppose if the system two or three user which user you want to pin the

up in this app in the start menu that also you can specify so four type is available

and the four function return the pin result is a enum so these are the result written by this api

so suppose if uh we are running the unsupported device so that os version is not supported

some group policies pin not allowed so pin only pin successfully been placed in the taskbar so it

return the pin present so it's already up available so it will turn the pin already present

suppose user cancel that pin request so it will return the pin operation failed these are the

the enum results So now I going to explain about how to implement this class in Visual Studio 2017 I created a already one project has created I going to use the same only

And make sure start menu is supporting Windows 10 creator updater and the taskbar pin support

fall creator update okay now go to the right click new get manage naked package go to online here

you can search good ability toolkit so here you need to select this toolkit dot uwp so this is a

helper method click it latest stable build 2.1 you have to download it so to 2.081 support it's

available in the 2.1 onwards so select that only install now the package get install in my pc

okay let it in self so here you can see that supporting version start menu is

the version 15063 and the taskbar supporting version 16229 okay now back

to Visual Studio yeah it's on it except now it's installing okay let it in sir

then going back to XAML page just check it yeah everything is all perfect so here

what I do so I'm adding two button one for into taskbar click the font says

just a make one and two only maintaining any naming conversion here just make one

and two no I rename that one one two yeah that's it so and one more to display the result

add one more stack panel, text block, text name, txt status and font size 35, the foreground

color something like red okay now back to page here what I'm going to do I just

calling that API so far in result equal to app in manager

added up in manager again here you can see it come on

okay let it come so so here you can see that all are async method only so we have to add the

sync concept a sync wait so have been manager this was up in the current app in

the taskbar so once the result is coming text the status dot text equal to win

result dot to sting Okay, this function for button to for the start menu

So what I'm going to do here also when in result await app in manager dot pin specific app to the start menu

So this one needs the app list entry. So we had to get it the app list entry

So make applist applist equal to package So getting the package current get applist entry so this is

the async method we have to use a weight concept so this here should support

async weight so in this one I am what I am going to do it is only one package

only so anyway so I am just taking the first package index so I am passing you

have to paste this app list that's it so then I need to print the results so see

it takes equal to print result dot to string so I just rebuild the application if you go to

solution explore here you can see that toolkit is added so if I open this one view object in

browser toolkit toolkit helper app in manager so here you can see that all the

methods and result also you can see it in result so here you can see all the

So here you can see the summary is if suppose if unsupported, this means the here you can see the pin supported SDK version also we mentioned and taskbar version also we mentioned which version support. Yeah, so build success. Now start the application

Deploy has started, deploy succeeded. oh there is no marching okay fine so if I click the pin start menu then

automatically this API promote the confirmation from the user do you want

pin the app in the start menu suppose if they what they don't want then if you

click the no then it will come pin operation failed maybe user has cancelled

suppose if I click pin to start menu sorry start by taskbar if taskbar also

automatically that confirmation message it will come to get the confirmation to

the user so suppose if you know if they accepted yes then pin present if you go

to if you go to taskbar you can see that result pin present in the taskbar

back to I hope you can understand how to use a pin app manager class in using

our social studio sorry UW community toolkit thanks to all
