File Activation in Windows RT
- by jdanforth
The code sample for file activation on MSDN is lacking some code so a simple way to pass the file clicked to your MainPage could be: protected override void OnFileActivated(FileActivatedEventArgs args) { var page = new Frame(); page.Navigate(typeof(MainPage)); Window.Current.Content = page; var p = page.Content as MainPage; if (p != null) p.FileEvent = args; Window.Current.Activate(); } And in MainPage: public MainPage() { InitializeComponent(); Loaded += MainPageLoaded; } void MainPageLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { if (FileEvent != null && FileEvent.Files.Count > 0) { //… do something with file } }
