How to use IStorageProviderItemPropertySource

Diakov Dmytro 1

Hi!
I have created a class StorageProviderItemPropertySource : IStorageProviderItemPropertySource and implemented method GetItemProperties.
Can my implementation be registered in registry and used by system ?
If yes, how can I trigger the system to call method from my implementation ?

Regards,
Dmytro

I have to say that UWP apps cannot manipulate on the registry because of security requirements.

But what if I add StorageProviderItemPropertySource to registry manually ?
So, can StorageProviderItemPropertySource be registered as COM ?

@Yan Gu - MSFT IStorageProviderItemPropertySource has function GetItemProperties. So my goal is to implement this function, register interface in Windows system and make sure that GetItemProperties was called by system.
So my question is: Can GetItemProperties be called by the operation system (explorer for example)? If so, how can I trigger calling of it ?

@Diakov Dmytro Maybe you could refer to the sample which shows how to use APIs of the namespace Windows.Storage.Pickers.Provider. However, you will see that there is no futher samples about IStorageProviderItemPropertySource interface at this time. You could suggest samples by Feedback Hub or by providing feedback on the page for API for future to integrate into shell.
