Classes
JumpList |
Provides functionality for an app's jump list. A jump list is a system-provided menu that appears when the user right-clicks a program in the taskbar or on the Start menu. It is used to provide quick access to recently or frequently-used documents and offer direct links to app functionality. Not all device families support jump lists. |
JumpListItem |
Provides functionality for creating and defining jump list items for an app's jump list. |
SecondaryTile |
Creates, enumerates, and provides information about a secondary tile. 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 and Pin secondary tiles from desktop apps. |

Represents a 3D model asset for use as an app launcher in the Windows Mixed Reality home environment. |
VisualElementsRequest |
