Parent Elements

Parent Element Description
uap:Extension

Declares an extensibility point for the app.

 

Remarks

The Share charm provides access to a list of target apps that can receive data that the user wants to share. This extensibility point enables your app to be included in the list of share targets.

uap:ShareTarget must specify either uap:SupportedFileTypes element, or at least one uap:DataFormat element. It can't omit both. The schema allows omitting both, but semantic validation will fail.

Examples

<uap:Extension Category="windows.shareTarget">
  <uap:ShareTarget>
    <uap:SupportedFileTypes>
      <uap:SupportsAnyFileType />
    </uap:SupportedFileTypes>
    <uap:DataFormat>Text</uap:DataFormat>
    <uap:DataFormat>Uri</uap:DataFormat>
    <uap:DataFormat>Bitmap</uap:DataFormat>
    <uap:DataFormat>Html</uap:DataFormat>
    <uap:DataFormat>http://schema.org/Book</uap:DataFormat>
