Examples

The following example shows how to declare a JumpTask in markup. The JumpTask opens a text file name readme.txt in the Notepad application.

<JumpTask Title="Read Me" 
          Description="Open readme.txt in Notepad." 
          ApplicationPath="C:\Windows\notepad.exe"
          IconResourcePath="C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll"
          IconResourceIndex="14"
          WorkingDirectory="C:\Users\Public\Documents"
          Arguments="readme.txt"/>

The following example shows how to configure a JumpTask in code. The JumpTask opens the Calculator application.

// Configure a new JumpTask.
JumpTask jumpTask1 = new JumpTask();
// Get the path to Calculator and set the JumpTask properties.
jumpTask1.ApplicationPath = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.SystemX86), "calc.exe");
jumpTask1.IconResourcePath = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.SystemX86), "calc.exe");
jumpTask1.Title = "Calculator";
jumpTask1.Description = "Open Calculator.";
jumpTask1.CustomCategory = "User Added Tasks";

Remarks

Typically, the Title property must be set for the JumpTask to appear in the Jump List as a clickable task.

Alternatively, you can visually separate items in a Jump List by creating a JumpTask that does not have a Title and CustomCategory specified. This empty JumpTask will be displayed as a horizontal line in the Jump List. In this case, other properties can be set, but they will not have any effect.
