Brushing up on the WPF and Windows 7 Jump Lists

 

This is just a summary on the new Windows 7 features and how these can be implemented in .NET. There is plenty documentation on both Windows Presentation Foundation and the Windows 7 SDK but actually implementing a solution is a bit harder.

Programming with the Windows 7 APIs is described in good detail on the following MSDN magazine site: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd942846.aspx

There is also a great .NET SDK for accessing the Windows 7 API: https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/WindowsAPICodePack
