SettingsPane Class

Definition

Namespace:

Windows.UI.ApplicationSettings

Note

SettingsPane is deprecated, and might not work on all versions of Windows 10. Instead of using a SettingsPane, integrate settings options into the app experience. For more info, see Guidelines for app settings.

A static class that enables the app to control the Settings Charm pane. The app can add or remove commands, receive a notification when the user opens the pane, or open the pane programmatically.

Remarks

Note

This class is not agile, which means that you need to consider its threading model and marshaling behavior. For more info, see Threading and Marshaling (C++/CX) and Using Windows Runtime objects in a multithreaded environment (.NET).

Properties

Edge

Note SettingsPane is deprecated, and might not work on all versions of Windows 10. Instead of using a SettingsPane, integrate settings options into the app experience. For more info, see Guidelines for app settings. Gets a value indicating whether the Settings charm appears on the left or right edge of the screen.

Methods

GetForCurrentView()	Note SettingsPane is deprecated, and might not work on all versions of Windows 10. Instead of using a SettingsPane, integrate settings options into the app experience. For more info, see Guidelines for app settings. Gets a SettingsPane object that is associated with the current app view (that is, with CoreWindow).
Show()	Note SettingsPane is deprecated, and might not work on all versions of Windows 10. Instead of using a SettingsPane, integrate settings options into the app experience. For more info, see Guidelines for app settings. Displays the Settings Charm pane to the user.

Events

CommandsRequested

Note SettingsPane is deprecated, and might not work on all versions of Windows 10. Instead of using a SettingsPane, integrate settings options into the app experience. For more info, see Guidelines for app settings. Occurs when the user opens the settings pane. Listening for this event lets the app initialize the setting commands and pause its UI until the user closes the pane. During this event, append your SettingsCommand objects to the available ApplicationCommands vector to make them available to the SettingsPaneUI.
