Creating JumpLists via XAML

Small warning: If you try this on Windows Vista, your app will just crash…

JumpLists are registred per application and the easiest way to create a (static) JumpList is via XAML in the App.xaml:

http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation

" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml">

Creating JumpLists via Code

The “coding” JumpList API is a bit odd to use, but still easy to understand:

var jt = new JumpTask
{
    ApplicationPath = "C:\\Windows\\notepad.exe",
    Arguments = "readme.txt",
    Title = "Recent Entry for Notepad",
    CustomCategory = "Dummy"
};

JumpList.AddToRecentCategory(jt);



var jt2 = new JumpTask
{
    ApplicationPath = "C:\\Windows\\notepad.exe",
    Arguments = "readme.txt",
    Title = "Code Entry for Notepad",
    CustomCategory = "Dummy"
};

var currentJumplist = JumpList.GetJumpList(App.Current);
currentJumplist.JumpItems.Add(jt2);
currentJumplist.Apply();

The “Apply()” call is needed, otherwise the new JumpItem will not be added. As you can see, you can create new JumpList entries, add (and I think you could also remove items) from the default recent category. Besides JumpTasks there is JumpPath, which just contains a link.

In the XAML Part I also hooked up some events, so your application can get notified when a user pins something or removes something which you might want to handle.
